just went to install my left grip - grip glue tube is all dried up - anyone ever use silicone instead or anything else?? don't want or need anything stronger than grip glue - may want to take it off some day - but do NOT want it coming off on a hot day or by just pulling on left grip - would be bad in a emergency move on the street.. hour drive round trip to dealer and back for grip glue

 

I would go to your local auto parts store. 3M makes some GREAT spray that will hook you up!

 

A lot of people swear by hairspray.
Others say that the water will disolve the hairspray.
I don't know how much water gets under the grip, but I can't imagine too much or the bars would rust from the inside.

 

gorila glue is the way to go it takes all night to set so that means you have plenty of time to get it where you want it before it sets. so my vote is for gorila glue

 

Watch it on the Gorilla Glue......I've used it for other tasks around the house and the stuff expands.....big time. 3M contact cement is great stuff, and a little goes a long way.....don't overdo it.

 

I bought a small tube of silicon in Custer last year when my grip glue dried up and the grip was spinning and have had no problem with it at all. Dont try super glue as it only works for a short time, and then you get a neat superglue tube when it dries.

just plain silicone??? how long did you allow it to set up - how long as it been in use now...

 

Another vote for Gorilla Glue. I've used it on two of our three bikes. Got it a Wally World. As Mr. Wonderful says, don't get real carried away with it; it does expand some as it dries.

 

Shoe Goo, also same thing at auto zone called auto goo, this stuff works great on grips and any thing else.

 

Gorilla Glue 4 sure
