If the handle can be unbonded by heat (i.e. hot water), it is probably
glued using ferrule cement or glue. Pole ferrule glue is applied by
heating the glue and applying to the stick. Replace the grip, properly
positioned, before it hardens as it cools. Same process for replacing
backet/ferrules. A full service ski shop should have furrule glue.

To remove, heat as you have been instructed, You do not need to add
new glue except where you cut the glued section of the stick off.

Why not hot melt glue used for crafts and various fixits?

Good question re craft type hot melt glue. The answer will depend on
the temperature needed to soften or unbond the glue. Ferrule glue for
poles seems to unbond at a temperature below 100C (boiling point of
water at normal pressure). The handles or baskets/ferrules can be
unbonded by heating the pole in boiling water, or with care, by a hot
air gun. At 100C, the heat does not seem to damage the plastic of the
baskets or handle, or the resin of carbon fiber poles. So, the
question is what temperature does craft glue need to be heated to to
unbond the glue and will that temparture (heat input) damage a
resin-fiber pole shaft, plastic ferrule/basket, or the grip?

Of course, if you never need to redo the grip or ferrule, then any good
waterpoof adhesive will work.
