## Abstract

A method, system and tool for decorating or creating roofs comprising the steps of providing a medium comprised of cement, a light weight aggregate, silica sand, fused silica, monofilament fine denier fiber, liquid polymer resin, and water; applying a bond coat of a primer made from concentrated liquid polymer to the desired surface; allowing the bond coat to become tacky; applying the medium to the bond coat on the surface; allowing the medium to set forming a scratch coat; applying a liquid release agent to the scratch coat; applying the medium over the liquid release agent; and decorating the medium.

## Claims

### Claim 1

A method for making a roof comprising the steps:
a) providing a covering for a structure;
b) providing a medium comprised of cement, an aggregate, silica sand, fused silica, monofilament fiber, liquid polymer resin, and water;
c) applying a bond coat of a primer made from concentrated liquid polymer to said covering;
d) allowing said bond coat to become tacky;
e) applying said medium to said bond coat on said covering making a roof;
f) allowing said medium to set forming a scratch coat;
g) applying a liquid release agent to said scratch coat;
h) applying said medium over said liquid release agent; and
i) decorating said medium.

### Claim 2 (depends on 1)

The method of claim 1 wherein said scratch coat is about ⅛ of an inch thick.

### Claim 3 (depends on 1)

The method of claim 1 wherein said liquid release agent is a liquid form of medium aliphatic solvent naphtha.

### Claim 4 (depends on 1)

The method of claim 1 wherein applying said medium over said liquid release agent is applied about ½ inch thick.

### Claim 5 (depends on 1)

The method of claim 1 wherein said decorating said medium further includes imprinting designs in said medium via a stamp that creates a faux wood shingle appearance.
