Abstract
Coating compositions can be applied to substrates to produce a novelty finish by the use of a coating applicator having a mat of sized glass fibers and/or strands in contact with the coating. The novelty finish achieved with the glass fiber strand coating applicator has continuity of pattern, which is achieved in a fascile and efficient manner. The coating applicator has a core with an inner and outer surface and mat of sized glass fiber attached to the outer surface. The glass fibers have a residue of a sizing composition having a carrier, a film forming polymer, and compatible coupling agent. The one or more glass fibers may be selected from bulked, texturized, hollow, hollow with etching and solid continuous and staple glass fibers and mixtures thereof. The thickness of the mat on the core to comprise the applicator is in the range of about 0.125 to about 2 inches (3 to 50 mm.).
