Rubber grip coming away from throttle tube

What can I use to stick this back down? I tried araldite a week or two back, it lasted ok until last night when I guess the fix broke. Now it's back to like it was before, if you twist the throttle the rubber grip starts to twist lol.

I'm guessing I need some kind of flexible adhesive? The araldite might have been too brittle?

Answers by 5pm please lol...I need to buy this tonight and fix it for a ride tomorrow

Grip cement, make sure you take the grip off and clean it and the throttle tube off, might even be worth replacing the grips

Hairspray, cheaper and just as good a grip cement

Where would I get grip cement? What does it look like (got a brand name I can search for?)?

And what? Lol - that works? Would still have to buy it anyway lol.

Might be worth oiling your throttle cables too. If they are sticking they would cause the grip to be pulled away from the tube.

Has this been done recently?

Yeah, did it about a week or two ago when the bike was apart, the reason it's pulled away from the throttle tube is probably my fault when I was pulling it apart. I took the grip off cos of this, and the tube felt a *little* greasy (not 100% sure if it was, so obviously not too bad). But it was definitely nice and smooth and not at all sticking to the grip!

Yep, hairspray works just like a glue. Can't you nick a can from your mum/wife/girlfriend

Yeah but then I'd have to choose whether to nick it from my wife or my girlfriend!

But seriously, no, she (wife) doesn't use hairspray (as far as I know!). I'll just pick some up from HG or Halfords ideally (open till 8pm!).
