Not testedfor methyl salicyate but certainly for TDE and BAAB cleared samples 
I use rings cut from "Stix2 double sided polyester ultra sticky clear tape" 
(available from craft suppliers in UK and USA) - I have slides of cleared, whole 
mount marine isopods that are over 18 months old and all are still good - the 
tape is about 125um thick and lives up to its name, it is incredibly sticky -  
grips stronger than a politician holding onto power :-).

I cut a length off, relocate on roll, cut off the double thicknes strip (backing, 
tape, backing, tape) , throw away the exposed tape and then use a wad 
punch set to cut the holes out to whatever size I want.

If we want to image both sides or are not sure of the orientation of samples, 
we often mount between 2 large coverslips using a ring of this stuff.
