Abstract
A polymer blanket includes a body having a first molding panel, a second molding panel and a mesh section connecting the first and second molding panels. In addition a method of making a polymer blanket for use in multi-cavity molding operations includes the steps of determining how many cavities are in a multi-cavity mold, determining the required dimensions for each panel of polymer blanket to be molded in each cavity and forming a polymer blanket with a required panel of desired dimensions for each mold cavity and a mesh section for connecting the required panels together.
