I keep forgetting I have Pachmyr grip sleeves to put on the P09s. Since I don't have a heat gun or a blowdryer I have been told that putting them in the oven at 200 for a bit will loosen them up enough to slip on easily. Any thoughts?

Soak them in hot water.

I have to ask if serious because you rarely are.

 

[RustyHornet]

Yes. Should provide lubication to aid in slipping on. Could also add a little soap to help it slip.

I don't doubt your expertise in lubrication.

Is this where I say, if you're burning your hands, slow down......... Take your time.

Water usually makes rubber more grippy not less.

 

[RustyHornet]

Hence hot water to swell it and soap to help glide it through.

Ah, okay. So you don't like the baking idea?

My luck, I would melt the grip..... Besides, we don't belong in the kitchen.

200 sounded like a safe temperature . I'm not really qualified to operate the stove but that's never stopped me with anything else.

Lets look at early June.

I have no plans that I'm aware of, so I'm good any weekend.

BA, I hope you can get at least one free Saturday in June

Where has IGM been lately? I wanted to show him my alloy framed compact like his.

I'd imagine you'll be fine. I suggested water because that's what I use to remove stubborn rubber hand grips from bicycles. Helps them slide on easier too. That's on chrome though, not plastic. Worst it could do is not work right? You've got 2, try both techniques and report back.
