Long ago, I actually cut plates of 0.25" steel and bolted them beneath the front bottom cover of my K3s so they wouldn't move when the front panel buttons were jabbed. Once the subreceivers were added, the combined weight is just about perfect, as long as the cleaning crew (me) dusts the shack occasionally.
Licking my fingers & wetting the rear feet and the rubber part of the front bail also keeps my rigs in place without any more exotic chemicals or devices.
