Crushed stone surface texture composition and process for applying the same

A crushed stone surface composition, comprising by weight approximately:

• 45-65% crushed stones varying from 0.0625 inch diameter to about 0.09375 inch diameter;
• 5-25% stone dust, including marble or granite dust;
• 15-35% resin, the resin having by weight approximately 40-60% industrial grade adhesive including a vinyl acetate copolymer emulsion stabilized with anionic surfactants, and 40-60% industrial grade thickening agent, water and ammonia, where the industrial grade thickening agent includes hydroxyethyl cellulose;
• and
• 0.1-15% fire proofing material including alumina trihydrate.

A process for applying a surface texture composition, comprising the steps of:

• mixing a composition comprising by weight approximately 45-65% crushed stones, 5-25% stone dust, and 15-35% resin, the resin comprising by weight approximately 40-60% industrial grade adhesive, and 40-60% industrial grade thickening agent, water and ammonia.
• applying a 0.0625-0.25 inch thick layer of the composition to a substrate;
• curing the composition over time;
• and
• applying a sealer over an outer surface of the composition.
