I've used generic spray glues, can't think of any brand names. Maybe Ace brand... anyway it always works well for a year or so then loosens and I repeat. I suppose that might be better than the permanent stuff that forces you to chip away a cork bits when you want to remove them. Anton

Hi Jim, Would you guess you use a strip of Newbaum's somewhere between 1/2 the length of the cork grip and the full length of the grip? John On Wednesday, July 15, 2020 at 1:58:20 PM UTC-7, Jim S. wrote: > > John, I just use a strip length-wise under the grip. You could try one on > the

John, I just use a strip length-wise under the grip. You could try one on the top and one on the bottom, if one strip alone isn't tight enough. I can't figure out why, but the length of the strip matters. A longer strip seems to hold it in place more than a shorter one, but I"ve had it where if

Hi Jim, Are you using one strip of Newbaum's on the handlebar length-wise under the grip, or wrapping a strip of Newbaum's around the bar under the grip? If I could get cork grips to work without glue, that would be fantastic. Thanks, John On Wednesday, July 15, 2020 at 5:58:34 AM

John, I've had success with a strip of newbaum's tape. No glue, no nothing else. If you don't have enough tape, they'll rotate. If you use too much tape, you can't get the grips on. But you'll figure out an amount that holds the grips in place. Then you can remove the grips later without

Amazing Goop “houshold” aka “household hogar”. It is Contact cement. Cork breaks up as you remove it but not terribly so. Heat gun would probably help. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group. To unsubscribe from this group and

Super 77 and the super 90 are permanent and you will have to pick the cork off in little bits to remove the grips. If anyone has a solution to soften these adhesives, please share it. Like James said, they will never slip. Ray -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the

Super 77 spray glue. Way less expansive than Gorilla Glue. Wait for it to set up for 30 seconds then slip on. Some will squirt out, just have a rag handy. You need a good coating, but that's any glue. We have glued hundreds of grips on using that spray glue. Never slips. -James /

The super glue. I haven't timed myself but sliding a grip on does not take 45 seconds. Also the working time is an estimate. On Monday, July 13, 2020 at 7:12:34 PM UTC-4, John Phillips wrote: > > Hi Brian, > >Do you mean the clear Gorilla Glue, or the clear Gorilla Super Glue. > The super

Hi Brian, Do you mean the clear Gorilla Glue, or the clear Gorilla Super Glue. The super glue says it only gives you 10-45 seconds of working time. Thanks, John On Monday, July 13, 2020 at 10:55:07 AM UTC-7, Brian Campbell wrote: > > Piece of cloth tape on the handle bar and some Gorilla
