Grip troubles

I got some new grips for my one piece, they were to hard to get on so I took dad's advice and soaked them In hot water. They went on really easy but now they come off so easy and spin around all tha time. Help?

Use some hairspray to put them on. Goes on easy while the hairspray is wet but once its dry they don't move at all.

As long as they havent stretched from the hot water (they shouldnt have), take the advice above ^^^^^

Thats what everyone does, and it works a treat...

Ok thanks I will try the hairspray method. Will it still work if they stretched? I don't think they are.

well i dont use any spray or water to get my grips on, i use an air compressor and blow the grips on and off, thats wut the bike shops do!!

I don't have an aircompresser, so that blows that away. I did the hairspray method (No thanks to mums concern) and they went on fairly well. Should I leave them to dry overnight or will they dry in like 10 minutes?

I would leave them for a bit depending on how much hairspray you used.. Wouldn't want to have a grip fly off your bars while airing or something haha
