YES. Shellac dries quickly to the touch, but takes longer to fully cure. I like several coats. You can apply two coats Thurs night if you go by the accepted rules, many more if you take my casual approach. It probably takes a week for shellac to completely cure, but I've ridden the next day (in the New England summer) with no problem. I use a hot glue gun to attach cork grips to handlebars. I heat the handlebars with a heat gun (hair dryer will do), squirt hot glue into a grip, and slide it on. DO NOT TWIST the cork grip, it will reduce the bond. Then do the other grip. Let it cool. I figure I can remove the grips intact with a heat gun if I ever want to. Best, Larry -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
