contents We computationally explore non-coherent band attachments between low crossing number knots, using grid diagrams. We significantly improve the current H(2)-distance table. In particular, we find two new distance one pairs with fewer than seven crossings: one between $3_1\#3_1$ and $7_4m$, and a chirally cosmetic one for $7_3$. We further determine a total of 33 previously unknown H(2)-distance one pairs for knots with up to $8$ crossings. The appendix by Kazuhiro Ichihara, In Dae Jong and Masakazu Teragaito contains a construction explaining the existence of chirally cosmetic bands for an infinite family of knots, including $5_1,\, 7_3$ and $8_8$.
