Check out this method of gluing EVA grips. Best thing I have discovered in rod building in 20 yrs, hands down. A real time saver for this tedious task.

Been doing the same thing with epoxy instead of rubber cement for a while. Re: EVA Gluing Method

Billy,
I still coat the blank where the grip is going to land with epoxy. I just find that the grip glides with the rubber cement better than epoxy and the clean up is a snap.

THe EVA sliding better has nthing to do with the rubber cement, it slides no problemo with just epoxy if the grip chamfered. I won't argue the clean up i sa mess with epoxy, but whn I'm doing gripsI do the entire handle so it's not that bad once the seat and foregrip is glued up. Re: EVA Gluing Method

I guess I have been lucky so far. No issues with coating the blank with epoxy and then squeezing the top and pushing the grip down. Re: EVA Gluing Method

I'm with Tom, guess I've been lucky too, but I do start the epoxy up where the grip is loose.
