Abstract
A hand spreadable urethane surface coating product for covering and filling imperfections in an existing surface of a fixture designed for washing includes a first non-aqueous liquid composition of at least on aliphatic urethane resin prepolymer and a second liquid composition of a cross-linking agent for the prepolymer, which when mixed and poured onto a clean and dry surface of a fixture, and gently hand-applied with a cloth to the surface, forms a glossy, durable surface resembling the original surface when new.
Claims13
A method of covering an existing surface and filling surface imperfections therein to form a substantially smooth surface thereon, composed of:
- (a) cleaning the existing surface and removing any loose materials thereon;
- (b) allowing the existing surface to dry;
- (c) preparing a flowable surface coating mixture by combining:
- a first non-aqueous liquid composition of at least one aliphatic acrylic urethane resin, and
- a second non-aqeuous liquid composition of a crosslinking catalyst for said resin;
- (d) mixing said mixture;
- and
- (e) applying said mixture to the surface to be covered.
A method of covering an existing surface of a bathtub having surface imperfections therein and filling the surface imperfections therein to form a substantially smooth surface thereon, composed of:
- (a) cleaning the existing surface and removing any loose materials thereon;
- (b) allowing the existing surface to dry;
- (c) preparing a flowable surface coating mixture by combining:
- a first non-aqueous liquid composition of at least one aliphatic acrylic urethane resin, and
- a second aqueous liquid composition of a crosslinking catalyst for said resin;
- (d) mixing said mixture;
- (e) applying said mixture to the surface to be covered by:
- (i) pouring a portion of the mixture on the inside bottom surface of the bathtub, (ii) gently spreading and rubbing the portion of the mixture with a substantially lint-free cloth material substantially evenly across the inside bottom surface of the bathtub, (iii) repeating the pouring, spreading and rubbing with another portion of mixture to the inside sides of the bathtub and the deck of the bathtub until the surface to be covered is substantially evenly and substantially smoothly covered with the mixture, and (iv) allowing the applied mixture on the surface to dry.
