Hey guys,
I'm looking for a substance (ideally plastic/silicone) that can be applied by being a liquid and cures but does not become hard /remains flexible through curing.

The specs of that substance should ideally be:
  • Very high friction ability (rubber like feeling)
  • durable
  • applicable on many differ  
  • not sticky (glue like feel)
  • no peeling
Any suggestions?

Thanks a lot!

EC's "flexible Epoxy" makes for a very high friction "soft grip" if you paint it on a surface and then apply peel-ply when the surface is just starting to "gel"

I've used this for making grip surfaces on gun-stocks ... it works very well, and in contrast to many of the rubber types, the flexible Epoxy does not pick up dirt or grit, and is extremely durable.
(Long term exposure to UV may be a problem though- )

There are specialized rubber/silicone compounds on the market for this purpose as well.
