Will,

The Diamondite Hypalon adhesive is nice because it's so slippery, which really helps if you've got to stretch the grip much. You might want to drop Tim a note at his link on the left to ask about it's bond with EVA. I can only speak for Hypalon because that's all I've used it on.

In the past I've used the Flex Coat epoxy on hundreds of grips w/o a failure. Stick to the standard (slow cure) stuff though if you've got to stretch it much. I found the 5 minute formula to be too "sticky" if you need the grip to grow some.
