The method includes forming spacer members of selected size from a large foam panel. One face of an adhesively coated tape is adhered to the panel and a release layer is adhered to the opposite face of the tape web, after which spacer members of selected size and shape are formed by cutting through the panel and the tape web without severing the release layer.
