Relative to the black feet, they stay put way longer, grip my inclined workstation far better, and put a bit more space between the Pismo and the desk for ventilation. It is possible to find these things in the exact size of the recesses that the old black feet fit in. For longer lasting results and appearance, I recommend you clean out vestiges of the old stickum out of the recesses first. GooGone?
I replaced all of the black feet during my first year of ownership of the Pismo in 2000. Only two have come off since then, and probably due to being bumped/scraped directly. The originals seemed to peel off if the PB was slid across a reasonably grippy surface.
May replace them all again as they have yellowed and are a bit scuffed. Think the originals were 3M brand - other brands may or may not adhere as well. YMMV.
Think this issue has been beaten to death, but carry on if you wish.

A: Glue gun.
Problem is that not all of us have managed to KEEP the feet that have fallen out. I lost a couple on our local bus system, which means they are gone for good. He is looking for ways to replace feet lost in this manner, much as I am, so I would appreciate an answer for his question.
I think Clyde WAS answering your question. Ever used a glue gun? You can certainly push a nice glop of glue out onto any surface the glue used maintains a high degree of viscosity yet harders to a nice rubbery feel. It's a great solution and one I plan on testing.
