some useful iinfo, or not... you decide

Here is a tip I picked up recently. Not having tried it myself, i can not say its right or wrong. When installing Samco hoses lubricate the hoses and the pipes they are going onto with hair spray. This will help the hose to slide over the pipe and, when the hair spray sets, will act as an adhesive to help the hose stay in place under boost. I haven't tried it, yet but it sounds clever..

Great idea. Also useful when installing new grips on to mountain bike handlebars! lol

good tip!

but

remember hose clamps tho lol

Yes, this is the technique used for motorbike grips, never tried it on boost pipes before but sounds a good idea.

As soon as the hair spray gets warm, any bonds will break. Also vibration and mioster will do the same.

that

may be right, but think hose clamps will, hold some of the braking in check, but the heat is an issue..

Instead of hair spray try wd-40 or similar multipurpose oil, your grips won't come off by accident. The solvents in the oil make the rubber surface very very sticky. Could work with silicon hoses too, I haven't tried that one.

I have heard the hairspray one before - dunno where though... Never tried it myself... hairspray isn't something I would have in the garage

we use vaseline for catapults.

best thing is to use good clamps
