Bigger Build-ups with Bevels

Building up grips one full size is no problem, as the grip maintains its shape, and the player can still feel the edges between the flats and the bevels. But sometimes I have to build up a grip two sizes. In these cases, I “cheat.” After building up the grip one full size the normal way, I cut strips of Add-On Grip’s (www.addongrip.com) self-adhesive sheets the same width as the flats, and apply them to the handle only at the 12, 3, 6, and 9 o’clock positions. Even though there isn’t a second layer of build-up material on the bevels, you’ll still come out with a grip that’s two sizes larger, and it won’t be rounded off.
