Grip install. Again. Grr.
#8
From memory i used self-vulcanising tape and cleaned the grips first , but it took 3 times before it turned out the way i wanted, i would say if the surfaces are clean ( no talcon powder ) the tension of the small tube would be enough to grip the plastic to sit there for life, i am talking about those really skinny inner tubes on race bikes and maybe some sanding once they are on the grips, no glue.

Also there is a product called liquid tape and is used instead of electrical tape, available from electrical supplies, it is a thick plastic paint that can be applied with supplied brush to the tube, allowed to dry and then provides enough friction for the grips.

Then there is red gasket silicone that can be applied to the plastic tube, made to work up to 120* c.
