    After patiently NOT touching the grip for 30 hours, it tests as perfectly secure! Phew

    is it organic, i.e. made with real gorillas? We're very green and I only want natural products.

    I have fitted what seems like hundreds of these in the course of my job and they only two glues I have come across that work for any length of time is either a superfix type glue (as is supplied with the hot grips) or a two pot epoxy type glue. The gorilla grip or standard grip glues are softened by the heat when the grips are operating and then your back to square one with a spinning grip again.
