Comes in a little tube like super glue. I got alittle on my finger and touched the tube and almost didn't get the tube off my finger. This stuff works! Give them a call or email. Nice folks there.   Logged     Last Edit: 2012/07/09 18:35 By Stick.     The administrator has disabled public write access. #515071 kozaturf (User) Expert Boarder Posts: 593 Re:grips 10 Months, 2 Weeks ago   Stick wrote: I picked up some grip glue here http://www.chapsmyass.com/index.php but I can't for the life of me remember what brand it was.

It is Rubber cement. 3M's rubber cement can be found in hardware stores, often for less than the threebond. The good thing about rubber cement is acetone does a pretty good job of removing it quickly, and it sticks like mad going back on. Silicone, if everything, including the inside of the new grip, is extremely clean, would work fine. The downside of any silicone based adhesive is, once you try to get it off, it is horrendous to get everything clean enough to ever get anything to stick again. I have always used rubber cement just for that reason.   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #515129 Stevie (User) Platinum Boarder Posts: 1938 Re:grips 10 Months, 2 Weeks ago   jd750ace wrote: The classic grip glue is Threebond, also sold at Yamaha dealerships as Yamabond.
