Always used my mum's 'Silvikrin' hairspray BITD. Does that even exist now?  ;)

Nowadays, I'm using WD40.

I always use hairspray cos it's almost instant grippage. Spray it on, put the grips on and within 5 mins they are glued on nicely! (And they still come off easily enough - just get some water under the grips.)

I would have thought the wd40 takes a while to dry out?? LMK if I'm wrong.
