Question for Talon Grip users: peeling edges and adhesion
I've used Talon Grips on a few pistols and generally like the product, but I've had some issues with the edges lifting/peeling over time on certain firearms, especially around heavily textured factory grips. I have a hellcat pro and a CZ P-10 that are peeling.
For those who have experienced peeling:
- What firearm model was it on?
- How long after installation did it start lifting?
- Did you reinstall with a new set or were you able to re-stick it?
- Has anyone used contact cement or another adhesive to re-secure the grip?
- If so, what product did you use and did it affect the polymer frame finish or make future removal difficult?
I've followed the normal installation process (cleaning, heat, pressure), so I'm curious whether this is just a limitation of some frame textures or if there are better solutions people have found.
One thing I've been wondering is whether rough factory stippling plays a role. It seems like very aggressive textures would reduce the actual contact area available for the adhesive compared to a smoother frame.
Looking for real-world experiences and long-term results.
