Do any of you have any advice on how to ease the fitting and removal of ESI silicon grips?
Thanks for your help.

Just plain old water as per instructions.

Window cleaner.

Window cleaner here too. They were still a bit hard to get on the last few millimetres, but they been stuck solidly in place ever since.

Thanks for your suggestions – I’ll give the window cleaner idea a try.

Air gun to remove them and window cleaner to fit them

I used an airgun to fit them originally but I’ve found that water, window cleaner and any alcohol based solution work fine.

I’ll add hairspray to the list, simple to fit, easy to remove – just a bit of plastic under the grip and a quick squirt of hairspray and they pop off.
