This is the kind of stuff my friend (Jeremy) gave me to do this. Almost any kind of hard
plastic, sticky on one side tape will do. He has had his on for several months and it
is proving to be very durable. They use this kind of stuff in industrial applications.
Comes in a roll, looking like a roll of masking tape, but an opaque, translucent
appearance, and about 1" wide.

Bob, 
That tape looks like a good idea.  Who makes it?  How did you prepare the slider surface?
