A continuous method of manufacturing adhesives is provided. The method includes obtaining an actinic radiation-polymerizable adhesive precursor composition disposed on a major surface of an actinic radiation-transparent substrate and irradiating a first portion of the actinic radiation-polymerizable adhesive precursor composition through the actinic radiation-transparent substrate for a first irradiation dosage. The method further includes moving the actinic radiation-transparent substrate and irradiating a second portion of the actinic radiation-polymerizable adhesive precursor composition through the actinic radiation-transparent substrate for a second irradiation dosage. Optionally, the method also includes irradiating a third portion of the actinic radiation-polymerizable adhesive precursor composition through the actinic radiation-transparent substrate prior to moving the substrate. The first irradiation dosage and the third irradiation dosage are often not the same, thereby forming an integral adhesive having a variable thickness in an axis normal to the actinic radiation-transparent substrate.

A method for producing an intermediate material for a cooking device according to an embodiment of the present invention comprises the steps of: repeating a cycle of applying a dispersion of a fluororesin and an inorganic filler or a dispersion of a fluororesin alone to a supporter and firing the applied dispersion so as to form a multilayered fluororesin film, followed by exfoliating the multilayered fluororesin film from the supporter to acquire the multilayered fluororesin film beforehand; providing the pre-acquired fluororesin film on a metal-substrate; and thermally compressing the fluororesin film and the metal substrate.
