What brand glue?
« on: November 20, 2006, 08:08:59 AM »
Not sure if this goes here. Putting some new grips in a ball. What type and brand of glue do I use? I assume it's not super glue because the holes cleaned up pretty easy after removing the old grips.

Thanks

Turbo does recommend using acetone, of course their not going to tell you that it will make other brands work too. They had to tell everybody the acetone when they changed chemical formulas for their grip and refused to admit to it around August last year. They made a press release about changing chemical formulas around February. The problem was/is that even the turbo super glue "which on the actual label for company that makes it says something like "industrial use only" wontwork on the grips without acetone.

If the Turbo Glue Bullets I use are a different glue than you mentioned, then you may be right, but if it is the same glue as what you mentioned, then you are wrong in that statement as I glue my Ice Grips straight out of the package  with the Turbo Glue Bullets and it holds without fail.

I like to use the Loctite Gel superglue that comes in a little gray and blue bottle that you squeeze on the sides.  Its doesn't run all over the place like regular glue does and you have some working time with this as well.

I just finished 4 sets of inserts using the Loctite Gel and it has made a believer of me ! The other super glues are out, it's the easiest to use I have found, clean and won't run out to fast. Can't say as to be bottle, new to me and a bit strange to use, but the results are super...Doug, Storm4ever, you've got a convert !

Thanks for the info....
