Default Alternative to set screws (glue) for PM grips

Just got a set of PM grips and the way to secure them is with set screws. I don't feel like drilling into my brand new bars lol.

what would be an alternative as far as glue etc. Don't think gorilla glue or hair spray will work since the inside is metal and not snug to the bar.

Eurethane caulking maybe ?

Thanks

FYI.... when I re-gripped golf clubs, I used the old white medical tape, or a double sided adhesive tape, wrapped around the shaft, then poured some lighter fluid into the grips, sloshed around, then poured what was left over the tape and slid the grip on. In fact I did the same thing on my dirt bikes....changed those every spring. The lighter fluid would react to the tape adhesive and create a tacky mess....and held the grips nice and tight!!!

Word! I always have double sided tape and some special solvent just like lighter fluid just for installing grips.

Nice, I've been told they tend to come loose even with the set screws, so I'll definitely keep this in mind, Thanks !
