Abstract
A boat deck surface covering comprising at least two layers which are applied one over the other. The layers contain a slow hardening elastic resin, such as epoxy resin, a hardener or curing agent for the resin, and a solid particulate, finely divided filler material of low density. The underlayer contains a coloring agent or pigment for the simulation of white or black gap material, which is exposed through narrow strips or gaps in the top layer, preferably a wood plank-simulating surface layer, to produce a surface covering simulating a wooden plank pattern.
Claims19
A boat deck surface covering comprising at least two layers, applied one over the other, each said layer comprising a slow hardened elastic resin composition containing a hardener for the resin, and a solid particulate filler material of low density, the upper layer containing filler material which imparts to said layer the appearance of wood, and the underlayer containing coloring agent which imparts to said layer the appearance of gap material, narrow spaced portions of the upper layer being removed to expose portions of the underlayer and produce a deck covering simulating wood planking spaced by gap material.
Method for applying a durable surface covering to a boat deck comprising the steps of providing a curable coating composition containing a curable resin, a hardener and a solid particulate filler material of low density;
- applying at least one uniform coating of said composition to a boat deck to form at least one underlayer, the curable composition applied to form said underlayer being colored to simulate the appearance of gap material;
- hardening said underlayer;
- applying over said hardened underlayer at least one uniform coating of said composition to form at least one surface layer, the curable composition used to apply said surface layer containing a filler material which simulates the appearance of wood, curing said surface layer, and removing narrow strip areas of said surface layer to expose narrow line areas of said gap-simulating underlayer, to produce a durable deck surface covering which simulates the appearance of a wood plank, gap-filled deck.
