I use hairspray (under cork grips, perhaps needless to say), and it works fine for me.

She didn't like the shellac on the grips. Anyway, what color tape should I start with before the shellac? White, beige, or something else? Also, since I'm on the subject of the build on my wifey's new to her frame, What adhesive did you use for the cork grips? Rivendell mentions Gorilla Grip and some sort of Permatex automotive RTV "Form a Gasket 1A" sealant as seen in the video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0VaUlzsDDvk&x-yt-ts=1422411861&x-yt-cl=84924572 I would probably make my decision based on just what was most cost effective. Seems like if that form of Permatex worked, that any kind of Permatex RTV might work. (I used to have lots of RTV around back in the day when I had a Honda that required valve adjustment every 15K, the gasket would leak on reinstallation unless you put a drop of RTV in the corners. But I think that stuff is long since dried up). What about painters' caulk? I have like 8 tubes of that sitting around. Bought too much when I painted the outside of my house. Where's the best place to buy the twine as depicted in Riv's videos? I didn't see it on their site.
