Abstract
A viscosity stable, stainable, wood textured, aqueous latex composition comprises from 5% to 30% of the weight of the composition of wood particles having sorbed therein a water immiscible organic solvent in an amount of at least about 60% of the weight of the wood to provide a free-flowing, solvent-wet powder, an aqueous emulsion of film-forming plasticized resin particles coalescable at room temperature or below; the proportion of wood particles, the resin solids content of the aqueous emulsion and the plasticization of the resin particles providing a viscous mass, and the organic solvent sorbed in the wood particles providing viscosity stability.
