'WD'40 
Seriously; always preferred hairspray for years until someone on here said WD40...
...thought they were taking the p*ss until I tried it! Makes getting them off again easier too; just slip a long thin screwdriver under the grip, spray some more in the gap, work the screwdriver around the bar under the grip and simply slide off.
No more favourite grips turned into an inside out rubber doughnut!

Yeah that would get the grips off but isnt the OP wanting them fixed to the bars? :?

I used Loctite 7070 (cleaner) to put a pair of Ourys on a bike I've just built up and it worked really well. I usually just use water but really struggle with Oury grips because they're sealed on the end and the water struggles to all evaporate. I already have the loctite in stock and read on the side of the can that it dries quickly and residue free so I thought I'd give it a go.
It's a bit expensive TBH but has other uses such as degreasing prior to applying decals which it does superbly. This is one of the better prices I've found for the stuff https://www.cromwell.co.uk/LOC7256006M

Thanks all for the input - keep it coming
@ RobMac - Yes, WD40 is good for putting rubber grips on (I have used it for years on the krayton rubber style grips), I think I have mentioned it ages ago on here
The only reason I asked about the grab on's is beacause they are foam and the only time I have fitted foam grips they came with the lube n glue

I regularly use WD40 to fit Ritchey Trugrips; generally find that re-application is the only way to remove them without cutting!
