This both applies solvent to the grip and grip tape, and actually reduces the amount of solvent you use. And prevents the dreaded half-stick grip which almost always means you have to cut it off and start again with a new grip.

For me, even though I’m using midsized Tour Velvet Plus 4s, I still want two layers of tape under the whole grip.
