Superglue or paint.

Artists spray mount is the solvent abuse of choice for me.
And you can always tie the ends with tire-wire. Ever wondered what those grooves were for?

Bit of petrol out the lawnmower might do the trick. Or meths. Evaporates real quick and leaves no trace of anything to make them slip.
Tried GT85?
Seriously - it does work!
+1 GT85 Stripe aint joking

get lock on grips 🙂
I always ended up stretching the grips when removing.
Also found Fairy liquid helps them back on and dries like superglu.
Gone for lock on's after destroying too many grips when chnaging bits.
Think shimano has a new clamp on shifters soon so you don't need to remove grips anymore to swap gear levers-yay!
lock-ons all the way!!
