Abstract
A composition for producing surface layers on wood or other substrates is formed from diatomite, expanded perlite, chopped glass fibers and a thermosettable resin mixed in specified amounts to provide a flowable mixture. When applied to the substrate as a layer about 1 to 2 cms. thick and the resin component has cured, a tough, impact-resistant, watertight surface is created on the substrate. The new compositions and surfacing methods are particuarly useful for refinishing the hulls of wooden boats.
Claims8
A composition for use in producing tough, impact-resistant, watertight surface layers on wood or other substrates consisting essentially of the following solid ingredients in the parts by weight indicated:
- ______________________________________ parts ______________________________________ diatomite 3 to 6 expanded perlite 1 to 3 chopped glass fibers 1 ______________________________________
- in substantially homogeneous admixture with a liquid thermosettable resin, the ratio of said solid ingredients to said liquid resin being such as to provide a flowable composition.
