I am considering ways to utilize existing, built-in shelves in a
historic house museum to provide much needed storage space for china and
glass objects.  The shelves are very deep and have double doors that
close completely.  We can't alter the shelves by attaching a lip or
using double sided tape and polyethylene foam to line the shelves.

Has anyone ever used rubber, non slip webbing (the kind sold at dime
stores for lining kitchen shelves) for this type of storage?  Apparently
the material can be cut to size, lies flat and prevents objects from
moving.  It is an appealing option since it is easily removed and
inexpensive.  I'm concerned about  potential off-gasing and damage to
the wood shelves.   Any comments or ideas will be appreciated.
