I added HEATED grips and the manufacturer specifically states that the grips MUST be epoxied on because they will become soft and loose when hot.

Why are you using 'epoxy'? Since my dirt bike days, we just used laquer thinner (actually we just used gasoline most of the time) on the inside of the grip and some on the throttle sleeve. It disolved the rubber slightly and things slide together easily. You have time to adjust the position things and then you just leave them for the laquer thinner to dry and the rubber is basically glued to the bar.

It takes a lot of work to get the "nubs" sanded off and the sleeve smooth. The new grip should slide on with very little force. Once the epoxy is put on it gets real hard to persuade the new grip to go on.
