Abstract
A moldable hand grip and method of forming the grip using a light curable moldable material. The moldable material is wrapped around a handle of a hand held implement. Pressure is then applied with the hand of a user to mold the moldable material while the temperature of the material is at ambient temperature. Light is applied to the molded material to cure the material and form a custom grip.
Claims8
