I know, I am in the wrong group here, but who can help?

I have a hardwood floor in my den. I have a plastic chair mat with no
teeth on the bottom so it won't damage my floor. But, on top of the
wood floor, I have an area rug.

The chair mat slides all over the place because part of it sits on a
wood floor, and part of it sits on a rug.

I have tried double-back tape, but no luck.

Can anyone help?

Thanks.

try putting a small blob of hot glue on the mats in the corners, let dry.
Then flip them over and it should keeep them from sliding

This sounds like a good idea. My chair mats for my 2 computer chairs
have teeth about an inch apart and I doubt if they reach the floor but I
have wall to wall over the hardwood floor and just assume that. Dabs of
hot melt all over the mat underside on the rug would probably act the
same as teeth.

Is it sliding, or just moving a little each time you walk on, or use,
the mat? If it is moving a little, it could be that the mat is
"walking" on the carpet. "Walking" means the mat is following the
direction of the nap (loops pointing in a certain direction) of the
rug.

Go to a hardware or carpet store and ask for carpet tape. Carpet tape is
a double sided sticky tape designed to solve the problem of slippery
rugs and carpet without damage to floor or rug/carpet. ^_^

Look at your local sewing / fabric store.

A non-slip backing you can cut to size.

real "testing"..

Yes, try alt.hvac you wish to meet some of the finest usenet posters.

Have you tried pilot holing the chair mat, and anchor it with galvanized
deck screws?
