I get really cheesed off using clamps. The long ones which you have a trigger to pull in the grips. Although it applies I suppose to all clamps, pegs etc.

Just as I finish applying Cement S the things spring off any surface which is not completely flat.

By accident found an answer. i was going to stick foam to the grips and use a bit of Blue Tack. Then brain went into overdrive (for me-- exciting stuff) do away with the foam and use just Blue Tack stuck on the grips.

Works like a dream- for me. If you try it just a thinnish layer of Blue Tack. To thick and the stuff just compresses and partially releases the joint.

good idea, will have to remember that one, but dont use the $ 2.00 shop Blue Tack, not worth the $ 2.oo you pay for it

Actually use White Tack Moni as I found Blue Tack leaves a slight mark.
