[quote=BellaBoo]Hello Ida,
I use this on all my rulers and it works great.

I bought some of this stuff at Joann's and put it on a couple of my most problematic rulers. It comes in a role, like waxed paper. And lo and behold! no more trouble with slipping. Now I recommend it to everyone.
The other thing I have used is those little round sandpaper spots. They work well, but I have to use quite a few of them on the longer rulers. 8-)

Wow I never realized this. I wonder if that is why my ruler stays better when I hold it with just my finger tips kind of tented on the ruler, as opposed to flat palmed?
