Latex sheeting

Latex sheets is used for making latex clothing. Latex sheeting are cut after a pattern, and the parts glued together. It's just the same way you manufacture regular clothing. Gluing latex is an expensive and time consuming process, but the fit is much better! Quality, color and thickness can be customized to the individual.

Clothing made from latex sheeting is repairable. If it gets a rip or the lining fractures, that can't be done with the molded latex.

Making latex sheeting

Commercial manufacturers seemingly prefer a continuous extrusion technique, where the material is pushed through a hole and let to settle. Color additives are added and mixed into the liquid material before the extrusion.

Latex sheeting could be manufactured (in a very small scale) by pouring liquid latex on a perfectly horizontal and smooth (possibly glass) table with edges. The amount of latex poured and the dimensions of the "container" define the thickness acquired. Practical usage is unknown.
