Yo!

I second the motion for HairSpray. I've used hairspray for grips on everything I ever rode that had grips. It gives you decent working time, fast drying time and there is a removal trick ...

Any grip installed with HairSpray can easily be removed with ... Hair Spray! The ingredients in the aerosol can that keep the contents from drying up will also dissolve the old hairspray.
