A process for forming a component for an article of footwear, the process comprising: applying a first series of small dots or segments of a first reactive polymeric material to a first portion of an outer or exterior surface of an upper base member (120, 800), the upper base member (120, 800) comprising a textile component to which the reactive polymeric material is applied, and wherein the first reactive polymeric material exhibits a first set of thermoplastic properties as long as it is not exposed to thermoset curing conditions and thermosetting properties after it is exposed to thermoset curing conditions; applying a second series of small dots or segments of a second reactive polymeric material to a second portion of the outer or exterior surface of the upper base member (120, 800), wherein the second reactive polymeric material exhibits a second set of thermoplastic properties as long as it is not exposed to thermoset curing conditions and thermosetting properties after it is exposed to thermoset curing conditions; exposing the first reactive polymeric material on the first portion of the upper base member (120, 800) to thermoset curing conditions after the first reactive polymeric material is applied to the upper base member (120, 800) so as to convert the first reactive polymeric material at the first portion of the upper base member (120, 800) to a thermoset condition; and exposing the second reactive polymeric material on the second portion of the upper base member (120, 800) to thermoset curing conditions after the second reactive polymeric material is applied to the upper base member (120, 800) so as to convert the second reactive polymeric material at the second portion of the upper base member (120, 800) to a thermoset condition, wherein the first reactive polymeric material is different from the second reactive polymeric material, or wherein the first and second reactive polymeric materials are applied to the upper base member at different application density levels. applying a first series of small dots or segments of a first reactive polymeric material to a first portion of an outer or exterior surface of an upper base member (120, 800), the upper base member (120, 800) comprising a textile component to which the reactive polymeric material is applied, and wherein the first reactive polymeric material exhibits a first set of thermoplastic properties as long as it is not exposed to thermoset curing conditions and thermosetting properties after it is exposed to thermoset curing conditions; applying a second series of small dots or segments of a second reactive polymeric material to a second portion of the outer or exterior surface of the upper base member (120, 800), wherein the second reactive polymeric material exhibits a second set of thermoplastic properties as long as it is not exposed to thermoset curing conditions and thermosetting properties after it is exposed to thermoset curing conditions; exposing the first reactive polymeric material on the first portion of the upper base member (120, 800) to thermoset curing conditions after the first reactive polymeric material is applied to the upper base member (120, 800) so as to convert the first reactive polymeric material at the first portion of the upper base member (120, 800) to a thermoset condition; and exposing the second reactive polymeric material on the second portion of the upper base member (120, 800) to thermoset curing conditions after the second reactive polymeric material is applied to the upper base member (120, 800) so as to convert the second reactive polymeric material at the second portion of the upper base member (120, 800) to a thermoset condition,
