Replacing the grippy rubber on the bottom of easels?

[Trey]

Does anyone know what i can use for this? We have quite a few easels whose rubber is decaying or missing and I'd like to replace it.

What should I be looking for?

One can find rubber sheet for making gaskets in plumbing supplies.

This sort of product works for me:

There are many different sizes screw-mount soft rubber feet shown in the following link. They can be found at Home Depot, Lowe’s, Walmart, Ace Hardware, and so forth:

Black EPDM rubber is sold in rolls of varying thicknesses. I've used a thicker roll to make a roof for my shed. It's commonly used under shingles to prevent damage from ice dams on roofs in cold climates. It would also provide good friction. The advantage of not being pre-cut into feet is you could also use it for other things. Roofs... pond liner... protective padding.

"Rubber feet" are often filed under "rubber bumpers" https://www.mcmaster.com/products/bumpers/?s=rubber+bumpers

I have had very good luck with these, similar to Ralph's suggestion - Amazon 3m rubber bumpers

The 3M bumpers really stick and they are soft enough that they also really grip.

I have used rubbery shelf liner from the Dollar Tree + heavy duty double stick tape. I have to replace it every 8-10 years because it loses its grip. Total cost back then= $1.50. Total cost now= about $3.00. Enough to do several easels.

Has anyone tried "Alien Tape" for its grip ability?

I checked my easels and only the Bogen has rubber on the bottom. It is a few strips of weatherstripping.

This is what I used to replace the dried up rubber pads on one of my easels.

Most hardware stores carry a variety of stick-on pads and bumpers, like the 3m example on the previous post.
