I have a rubber wedge for holding a door open, the door has a not very
powerful door closer.
The `wedge` only has the tip that will fit under the door due to low
clearance.
The wedge slips on the floor tiles usually after a few minutes and the
door closes.
Any ideas on how I could make the rubber slightly tacky to stop it
slipping ?

Glue a bit of coarse sandpaper onto the face that contacts the floor.

That may still slip on ceramic tiles.

Sit it in a few millimetres of clean mineral oil (engine oil, 3 in 1?) for
a few days, this will absorb and make the surface slightly tacky. Wipe
clean before use, obviously.

Stick a bit of Dycem on the bottom.

Abandon the wedge, replace with a "kick-down door stay" like this (sorry
about the rubbish URL)
