Default new handgrips

i just got new handgrips for my blaster and was wondering about the best way to put them on. the guy at the dealer said you could buy "handgrip glue" or use hairspray which is similar i guess. i already cut off my old handgrips and i know to clean the bar b4 putting on the new ones. anyone got any tips?...thx

From what ive heard grip glue and hairspray works, you need the glue to stick it on there and the hairspray slides it on. If they have holes in the end you can use compressed air to blow them on there.

My buddy has always just used Spray paint. shoot a couple shots in the grip and spay a lil on the bar and slide it on. His never come loose. I always used grip glue and just squirt a bunch in the grip and smear it around with a pencil ans slide it on. Next grips i have a set of ODI Bolt ons i gonna try.

ok. but what do you mean by use glue to stick it and hairspray to slide it on? do you mean use both? and how would you blow the grips on? [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-confused.gif[/img] im trying to think out how this would work... has anyone who has used hairspay had any problems? spraypaint sounds good but kinda messy. guess it doesnt matter if you dont see it tho.
