1. A method for coating objects with silicone, the method having the steps of:
- a. applying a silicone material onto a top surface of a first silicone adhesive resistant material;
b. forming a first silicone layer on the top surface of the first silicone adhesive resistant material, the first silicone layer having spaced apart top and bottom surfaces, the bottom surface being adjacent to the top surface of the first silicone adhesive resistant material and the top surface being bondable to an object;
c. allowing the first silicone layer to sufficiently cure to allow for bonding to an object;
d. placing the object having spaced apart first and second surfaces on to the bondable top surface of the first silicone layer, the first surface of the object being placed immediately adjacent to the bondable top surface;
e. applying pressure to the second surface of the object;
f. allowing the bondable top surface of the first silicone layer to bond to the object; and
g. removing the first silicone adhesive resistant material from the bottom surface of the first silicone layer.

Abstract
A method for coating objects with silicone that includes the steps of preparing the silicone material; applying the silicone material onto a surface that is resistant to adhesion to silicone, such as an acetate film layer or the inside surface of an open air mold; allowing the silicone material to sufficiently cure to allow for bonding to an object; pressing the object against the silicone material; allowing the silicone material to bond to the outer surface of the object; and then removing the object from the surface resistant to adhesion to the silicone material.
