Nuke 'Em

Older leather grips can be difficult to wrap around the angles of the butt cap, as well as those at the top of the handle. Using double-sided tape helps hold it in place, but doesn’t make the wrapping any easier, and you still need a lot of muscle to stretch the wrinkles out of the grip. Rather than wrestle with it, I simply put the leather grip in the microwave oven for 10 seconds or so. This makes the grip a lot easier to wrap and stretch.
