Not sure if this will work, but a trick I use to use for putting rubber
handlebar grips onto motorcycles was coat the inside of the grip with Gas, then
slide it on. Gas softened the rubber and when it evaporated left nothing
behind (unlike soap which tended to allow the grips to slide off as well as on
:-)

Does anyone know what to do to oar rubbers to get them onto an oar?
I've got this lovely, very practical full ring stainless rowlocks that
I want to use, but I'm going a bit spare trying to get the oar rubbers
on. I've searched everywhere, does anyone know the secret?

Thanks,
Robin
