   My hardware hacking workstation, based on a £60 desk.

   Any tips on how to secure the silicone mat in place?

     @hugh I'm concerned that trying to screw it in place will eventually result in tearing.

     @ryanc Some screws with big washers in each corner?

     Or contact adhesive

     @ryanc I hot glued my antistatic mat to my desk as a temporary measure and it worked quite well. That was about a year ago and it’s still stuck.

     @ryanc I don't know with any confidence any specific adhesive but I suspect 3M has something that will adhere rubbery to plasticy surfaces - itches my brain that it would be an automotive body repair product. Mechanically my first inclination is (ab)using flooring transition strip as a screw-down clamp around the edges of the mat. No need to put holes in the mat, it's long-term but can be loosened and re-clamped in case the mat 'grows' with use or solvent exposure.
