  2. Cut the silicone grip wrap to the desired length. Measure the circumference of the handle and add a few inches to allow for overlap. Cut the silicone grip wrap using scissors.
  3. Remove the backing from the silicone grip wrap and begin applying it to the handle. Start at one end of the handle and work your way around, smoothing out any wrinkles or bubbles as you go. Make sure the silicone grip wrap is positioned evenly around the handle.
  4. When you reach the end of the handle, overlap the ends of the silicone grip wrap by about 1/4 inch. This will help ensure a seamless finish.
