Last night I was trying to put a flat surface on a box end I was
making but when I tried to run the wood across my jointer, my push
pads kept slipping which made it hard to keep my work against my
cutter head.

Anyone have ideas of what I could use to get a sticker grip so I don't
loose my grip on the wood I'm trying to joint?

Thanks,

Maybe your pads just need to be cleaned; sawdust
and splinter may be embedded reducing the grip.
And excellent and cheap source of pads for
replacement are computer mouse pads. I bought
mine from the dollar store and one pad provided
enough material for two pushers. Cut two pieces
and just glue them onto your current pads.
