Sorry dont know its proper name
Mines come unstuck a bit and just wondered what I should stick it back down with rather than a trip to the luthier. May seem a really stupid question but I dont want to end up with a sticky mess if I use the wrong glue.
Thanks for any replies

i think its just called the grip.
Not sure what to say about the glue, though a trip to the luthier would be the best option

i've always heard it just called the "grip". you can glue it back on with normal PVA or hide glue.

Go to a luthier and get it properly replaced. It shouldn't be too expensive, esp if you get a rehair at the same time.

Surey a re-hair would make it expensive! - My last re-hair certainly was, and I wouldn't recommend re-hairing unless it actually needs it.

It's called a thumb grip, by the way.

My luthier does a "tidy-up" job (thumb-grip, straightening etc) for free or a very minimal charge when necessary when I get a rehair. Apparently this is quite common. Should be able to get the lot for under £50 easily, outside of the bigger towns. I suppose expensive is relative, and depends on the value of your bow!

Both my bows are very good ones, but I still wouldn't shell out nearly £50 for a re-hair unless needed, just because the thumb grip needed fixing!

...my point was that you should wait until you get a rehair done next time and then get the thumbgrip done at the same time...making it cheaper overall than getting them done separately, as no doubt if you have good bows you will get them rehaired fairly frequently anyway.

Thanks for the replies.
I didnt mention its a new bow so the grip doesnt need replacing, the luthier is happy to do it for me. I was just thinking I could save myself a trip if it was straightforward.
Thanks again.
