Cut out tanktop pieces and trim from pattern
Place the pattern over your latex sheeting and use a rotary cutter and cutting mat to cut it out.
Glue front neck trim
When finished glueing, cut the trim so that it ends 1/4 inch past the shoulder seam.
Glue front shoulder strap to rear shoulder strap
Also glue the 1/4 front neck trim that went past the end of the front shoulder to the rear of the tanktop.
Mark rear neck trim
Place rear neck trim where it will be glued. Mark the location of the shoulder seams on the trim and then cut the trim at those marks.
Glue rear neck trim
Align the trim with the shoulder seam (it will go on top of 1/4 of the front neck trim)
Glue front arm trim
Glue arm trim to front of tanktop. Ensure that the trim extends 1/4 inch past the end of the shirt at both ends of the trim
Glue rear arm trim
Start at shoulder seam and line it up with the shoulder seam. Trim will lie on top of 1/4 inch of the front trim. Work your way down to the armpit. At the armpit, ensure that the rear trim ends 1/4 inch short of the end of the tanktop
Glue the sides
Glue the front on top of the rear of the tanktop at the side seam. Line up the seam so that the front trim and rear trim butt against each other perfectly

If there is any excess trim or rough area at the armpit, trim it to be perfectly smooth
Trim hemline
If the hemline doesn't match up prefectly at the side seams, trim it to ensure a straight hem

Give your seams 24 hours to cure. YEAH - enjoy your new mens latex tank top!
