Default Grip rejuvination

I don't know if anyone else would care for this grip appearance but here's what I did to an old, dark grimy pair of grips.
After soaking in aircraft stripper I scrubbed them with a toothbrush then washed them with warm water & soap. The water will cause them to swell so they must be air-dried for 3-4 days or until they fit.
I coated them on both sides w/Smiths Clear Penetrating Epoxy(CPES), which is almost as thin as water, therefore soaking into the wood. I applied 2 coats on the back & 4 on the front. This will dimensionally stabilize them & they can no longer retain dirt, grease or body oil.
