I included Eric Wesselman's original informaton, on
Black CA Adhesive & InstaSet
for TruGrip®, and why you'd want to use it.

  • Black, rubberized instant adhesive bonds the front and rear TruGrips together to form a super-durable, unitized grip.  Glue does not directly contact the frame of your pistol.

 
  • Strongly recommended for all professional users.  Hard-core competitors may want to use the glue as well, but it is generally not necessary on a competition pistol unless you have a very strong grip or have some other mitigating circumstances.  You'll know if you need the glue.
 
  • Sold in two-bottle kits: one bottle of glue, one bottle of instant set spray.  Also available individually for replenishment by request. [Ask Mike]
 
  • Yes, you need both the glue and the InstaSet.  Otherwise the glue takes forever to dry.
 
  • Darned sticky stuff. Not for use by kids. Keep aways from pets - especially if your dog has a cynical streak like mine (don't ask).
 
  • Very handy adhesive for other applications such as gluing plastic, archery, and gettting rubber to stick to metal.
 
  • Will *not* come in contact with the frame of your pistol if carefully applied.
 
Installation:

Step 1:  Install the grips as per the instructions.  Cut the tip off the glue bottle near the top at a 45 degree angle. Place a small drop at the beginning of a seam then use the tip of the bottle to pull a thin bead of glue along the seam.  Add just enough glue as you're pulling to fill the seam. (Don't try to squeeze a continuous bead of glue or you'll have black goo everywhere.)
 
Tip:  Get the glue started flowing through the nozzle on a piece of scrap paper before you try to make a bead on the grip.
 
Step 2: When finished with side of the grip, give the glue a spritz or two with the InstaSet and wait 30 seconds or so for the glue to set.  If the glue is still a bit tacky, give it another spritz with the InstaSet. Repeat on the other side, and you're done!

(It's OK, if the grip gets a little wet from the InstaSet. It will evaporate quickly and will not attack your TruGrip.)
