DTill Posted June 11, 2019 Report Share Posted June 11, 2019 I have a set of Rev handles with the softer foam that got really wet and the adhesive tape lost it's grip and never re-adhered when they dried. Is this tape similar to golf grip tape? Wet and slide on. Can you use gorilla glue or will that mess up the grips? Buy some tennis racket/ road bike wrap. I have some cork grips, but they need some shaping. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

khsidekick Posted June 12, 2019 Report Share Posted June 12, 2019 Haven’t had this problem yet so I was curious to see what others had to say. Throw them away and get a set from Andy. Sent from my iPhone using KiteLife mobile app Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty much like the snag less ones from revSent from my iPhone using KiteLife mobile app Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wayne Dowler Posted June 12, 2019 Report Share Posted June 12, 2019 You can reglue the foam, just make sure the glue won't eat up the foam. Make sure to mark them so you get both sides even. If you decide to get new handles, I recommend getting snagless ones. They eliminate the ring on them. Great for team flying, plus they remove another moving part that you really don't need.

DTill Posted June 12, 2019 Author Report Share Posted June 12, 2019 Thanks for the replys. I think I have some foam safe contact cement in the garage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SparkieRob Posted June 13, 2019 Report Share Posted June 13, 2019 I've reglued a set of handles using "contact cement" but I'm not sure what it is known as in the US. Stuff you put on both surfaces and leave till tack dry. Then assemble to marks. Still holding up to my abuse.Sent from my SM-G950F using KiteLife mobile app Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
