Provided is a method for easily producing a silicone adhesive that has a reduced amount of remaining silanol groups, contains no aromatic hydrocarbon solvent, and is capable of preventing an impact(s) on the human body as well as skin irritancy as caused by remaining and volatilizing substances. The method includes: a first step of mixing, under the presence of a basic catalyst, (A) a polydiorganosiloxane, (B) an organopolysiloxane whose molar ratio of R.sup.1.sub.3SiO.sub.0.5 unit/SiO.sub.2 unit is 0.5 to 1.5, and (C) an aliphatic hydrocarbon solvent; and a second step of treating a product obtained in the first step with an organic disilazane compound and/or a silane compound, for the purpose of lowering an amount of silanol groups contained in a solid product obtained after the treatment to a range of 0.002 to 0.03 mol/100 g of the solid product obtained after the treatment.

Provided is a method for forming a coating film of a photocurable fluoropolyether-based elastomer composition, with which a uniform cured product of the composition can be obtained even in an interface, dark portion and deep portion of a base material without being subjected to a curing inhibition from the base material (resin base material in particular). The method for forming the coating film of the photocurable fluoropolyether-based elastomer composition includes a step of applying a light-irradiated photocurable fluoropolyether-based elastomer composition to a surface of a base material.

Disclosed is a two-component silicone composition, which can cure via moisture. The composition generally has improved cure speed while maintaining good storage stability.
