Thats what us motorcycle guys do when we put new grips on bikes. Slippery when first applied, sticky/tacky like glue when it dries. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
noodle3872 40 Report post Posted December 17, 2008 The method to put on a Tacki Mac is more or less the same as putting on a golf grip or so it sounds. I may have to give one a try. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

cougarscaptain87 12 Report post Posted December 18, 2008 id bet mineral spirits work too, i have never seen one in person but it looks identical as to how you instal a golf grip, but we use mineral spirits instead of water. i think the mineral spirits would be more lubricating then water, also could pour some in the grip before hand.

sensrock15 0 Report post Posted December 18, 2008 How I did the Tacki-Mac thing was I slid the grip on, I had a different kind of double sided tape and I flipped the Grip halfway inside out, then I put the double sided tape on and flipped it back down, I did the same with the other end and now that thing will never come off.

NorrisContender 4 Report post Posted December 19, 2008 I cut the butt off the wrapped version of the Tacki-Mac's. Without the butt you can roll and unroll them pretty easily. Hair spray holds mine on but allows you to remove and reapply if you're so inclined. This is only useful if you don't like a knob on your stick. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
caldakid 0 Report post Posted March 18, 2009 sorry to bump an old thread but does anyone know (jr probably) what kind of rubber grip kane uses?I have attached the actual grip from one of his pro stocks I have.
