Sheet latex
Latex sheeting is used for making latex clothing. Latex sheets are cut after a pattern, and the parts glued together. It is similar to making regular clothing except that seams are glued (sometimes with a reinforcing rivet), not stitched. Gluing latex is an expensive and time-consuming process, but the fit is much better than using moulded latex. Quality, colour and thickness can be customised to the individual.
Clothing made from latex sheeting is repairable if it gets a rip or the lining fractures. That cannot be done with moulded latex.
A large sheet can be used instead of a bedsheet for latex fetishists.
Making latex sheeting
Commercial manufacturers prefer a continuous extrusion technique, where the material is pushed through a hole and left to settle. Colour additives are added and mixed into the liquid material before the extrusion.
Latex sheeting could be manufactured (on a very small scale) by pouring liquid latex onto 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 use of this method is unknown.
