Abstract
A method for joint reinforcement of dissimilar materials and products made by such method. The method includes the steps of spray coating a contact adhesive on the contact area between a substrate and covering material sheets, providing a reinforcement interleave of fibrous glass between the joint area of covering material sheets and the substrate, and applying a second adhesive on the reinforcement interleave such that the second adhesive is extruded through the seam when the covering material sheets are applied to the substrate.
Claims10
A method for joint reinforcement of dissimilar material comprising the steps of:
- providing a substrate material having a substantially planar surface;
- providing a plurality of covering material sheets having a top surface and an underside, said plurality of material sheets comprised of a material different from said substrate material;
- applying a first adhesive to a portion of said planar surface of said substrate;
- disposing a reinforcement interleave having a top surface and an underside on the remainder portion of said planar surface;
- disposing a second adhesive different from said first adhesive on the top surface of said reinforcement interleave;
- placing said material sheets on said planar surface such that a seam is formed therebetween adjacent said reinforcement interleave, the seam defining a length between the top surface and underside of the material sheets;
- extruding said second adhesive through the entire length of said seam;
- and
- maintaining said first adhesive separate from said second adhesive when applying said first adhesive and disposing said second adhesive and during said extruding step.

A method for joint reinforcement of dissimilar material comprising the steps of:
- providing a substrate material having a substantially planar surface;
- providing a plurality of covering material sheets having a top surface and an underside, said plurality of material sheets comprised of material different from said substrate material and having a predetermined color;
- applying a first adhesive to a portion of said planar surface of said substrate;
- disposing a reinforcement interleave having a top surface and an underside on the remainder portion of said planar surface;
- disposing a second adhesive different from said first adhesive, on the top surface of said reinforcement interleave, said second adhesive having a color matching said covering material sheets;
- placing said material sheets on said planar surface such that a seam is formed therebetween adjacent said reinforcement interleave, the seam defining a length between the top surface and underside of the material sheets;
- extruding said second adhesive through the entire length of said seam;
- and maintaining said first adhesive separate from said second adhesive when applying said first adhesive and disposing said second adhesive and during said extruding step.
