[Electronics-Talk] sticky dots?

[Beverly Crook]

Hello,
I get my bump dots at the braille superstore.
He has a lot of good things and the shipping is free, so it's a good place to check for things.

They can also be found, from what I'm told, at Walmart in the hardware department.  In the local stores they are identified as furniture bumpers used under glass covered tables or desks or for cabinet doors as bumpers.  These stores usually carry a small variety of sizes.

To the right of the 2 is the 3, and so on.  The start and stop/clear should be marked, maybe with different size dots to tell the difference if this is a challenge.  If there is an ADD 30 SECONDS or ADD 1 MINUTE button, then they should be marked, too.  Good luck.
