Abstract: The present invention relates generally to a pancake mold article. More particularly, the invention encompasses a process for manufacturing a flexible, thin-walled, hollow pancake mold article. The present invention is also directed to novel non-metallic pancake mold articles. The present invention also encompasses a product made via the inventive process. The process for manufacturing the flexible, thin-walled, hollow pancake mold article comprises of at least one first vulcanization phase and at least one second vulcanization phase. Between the first and the second vulcanization phase the mold article can optionally be trimmed. The mold article can be wiped and cleaned after the second vulcanization phase.
