Current cork grip gluing BKM?

[Doug Van Cleve]

Howdy folks.

I just did a search on this and found a (largely inconclusive) thread from 2020.  RBW currently shows something like Amazing Goop/Shoe Goo being liberally smeared on the bar before sliding on the grip, which of course results in a bunch of that toxic goo pushing out from under the grip and a grip that is completely fused to the bar.  I have read a couple folks suggesting that they managed to secure the grips well (enough) but still remove without destroying, which sounds pretty good.  Is there a current "best" way/product for doing this?

Thanks, Doug

I've used Permatex.  I think I got them off but can't remember how.

It's tricky because you can split the grip if you're not careful doing it this way but....typically adding one strip of newbaums  lengthwise on the bar adds enough friction to keep everything snug and in place.  Only use one piece about 1/3 to half the length of the grip. Start with less and see how the fit is....I've found that the inner diameter of the grips has changed slightly over the years.
