A method of making a silicone grip comprising coating a solution of a silicone composition on a substrate surface to form a silicone layer, the solution comprising: a catalyst promoting cure of the silicone composition; a higher molecular weight organopolysiloxane containing at least two alkenyl groups per molecule, a lower molecular weight organopolysiloxane having at least two alkenyl groups per molecule, an organopolysiloxane having at least two silicon-bonded hydrogen atoms per molecule and a solvent; and curing the silicone layer to form the silicone grip conformable to the substrate surface, wherein the cured silicone layer has a Shore A hardness of less than or equal to about 60. |
