How to fit a FATSO 5.0 grip - any tips or experience?

Well I just fitted the SuperStroke Fatso 5.0 to a friends putter (biggest available I think).

Man oh man what a task that was!
I must have fitted more than 100 grips in my time.
Club held in gripper in my vice on a solid bench.
Run down of my experience:-

• Put 2 small strips of tape down shaft (I normally use 3 on 'full' clubs so less adhesion already)
• Filled grip with solvent & tee peg in hole
• Pour solvent out onto tape
• Push on 3" and solid
• Off, repeat and add more solvent to tape straight from bottle
• Push on and 3" solid
• Off, repeat again with new tape and loads of solvent
• Push on 3" and solid
• Fired the compressor on and blew the grip on from there with all the solvent still on tape

If I did not have a compressor I do not think I could have done this.
Anyone have tips or experience for my knowledge in case I need in the future?
Cheers

PS - feels wrong to me so I won't have a 5.0 on my putter!
