Just one suggestion with the Purist grip that I'm sure you've tried - keep tapping down on the top of the grip with the palm of your hand - it should tap down to a point.  Always worked for me with 1 or 2 grips, though I've never tried with the ripple grip...

Tried, but as the ripple underneath is quite grippy, it's just not budging.

I normally have chevron underneath and oCtopus on top, and have had no issue knocking down the over hang. The ripples are just too dam grippy.

Yeah, I have exactly the same - the chevron does lend itself to being a perfect first layer...

Too grippy grips - what a concept!  Bats look great...

Would one of these GM (No Swearing Please) grip pumps make fitting them over a 2nd grip easier??

In my experience they are totally useless but then again I'm more of a carrier bag man myself

Carrier bag doesn't work when you put a 2nd grip on does it??
My mat tried and the bag got stuck between the two grips haha (and that's why I always carry a bat cone!)

The GM applicator may help. Although i have found the applicator only works with certain grips. GM ones obviously, apart from that it seems to work only with other high quality grips with no air holes to break the seal.

Apologies about the sticker mate, i can send you a few next time you are looking to order something?

As Cameron points out carrier bag doesn't work with the second grip,


And my gm suction grip applicator thing does not either. It isn't large (No Swearing Please) to get the grips wide enough to slide the second one on, I can get it about 2inhcs on with brute force then it's stuck.
And with thicker grips I sometimes struggle to get the pump back off!


There maybe a wider one out there, but I bought the gm one, then gave up. Lol.

Haha, the stickers more for your advertisement, as I'd like to show people who looked after me. But it's no biggie.
Plus I think I'm done for kit this year. I have atleast two. Of everything, and a hell of a lot more of others. Not sure I want/need anything else. Doh.

Struggling with the same 2nd grip issue, 1 thing that helped a bit was folding down the underneath grip at the top by an inch before applying the 2nd grip. It helped it roll down better, once near the bottom of the handle unroll the first grip, then let the second one unroll. I found it fitted the top end of the handle better and then to adjust the grip on the bottom was just a lot of force lol...will post pics tonight...
