This is a new product to the shooting market. Excellent for giving shooters the custom fit to your existing grip, without all the mess of bondo. This is a 2 part epoxy dark brown color. Dries in minutes.

Am I the only person who thinks it's strange that you are using the Morini logo in your profile while advertising a competitor to one of their products.

I'm not trying to be argumentative, but what makes this any better than the other 2 part epoxy wood repair sticks?

A similar product is available in a wide range of colors to match almost any grip:

Is Grip Paste anything more than Bondo tinted to match walnut?

I don't know enough about it to pass comment.
I have however seen several well respected grip modifiers who will only use the Morini paste. It certainly isn't the cheapest so I must presume that they get the results they want.

When set, Bondo is a good deal softer than the other products, and I find the cylindrical stuff softer still than dedicated grip epoxy. Almost like comparing balsa to pine to walnut. On the other hand, I've never found the Tootsie Roll epoxy not up to the task.
Isn't there also a Hämmerli product probably now labeled Walther?

Okay, there is really no comparison, between the Morini Grip Paste, which for those of you who have actually used it is similar to using Bondo, but in a dark wood walnut color. I am not bad mouthing the Morini product, only saying the Perfect Fit Product, has a some advantages. 1) less of a mess to work with 2) cure time much faster 3) doesn't stick to the hand 4) and provide a nice custom finish to the orthopedic grips.
There are many product out on the market that can be used to fit grip. In my 25 years of international pistol shooting, I have found this to be one of the best product on the market.
I will be happy to answer any questions about this product.
Kind Regards,

OK:
How much does it cost?
How much is shipping in the US?
How much do you get?
What is the shelf life unopened and opened? I.e. is it all or nothing once you open the package?
How long DOES it take to cure? (fast is relative)
Once it is cured, how easy is it to trim and/or shape?
How well does it stick to a grip with an oil finish? I.e. do you have to sand down to bare wood to get it to stick?

sounds just like Kwikwood which you can get very easy around most towns. Cost is about the same.
good to see another option available.

Pretty tough crowd Rick! I still use one of your brass catchers and so do a few of my shooting buddies. They are a great product and you back them up. If you are touting this, I'll put my money on you when I need some grip putty.
