Abstract

Decorative structural panels have a release material of wax, silicone, or oil applied to portions of a substrate surface. One or more curable thermosetting resins are applied on top of the release material and substrate surface and allowed to commingle. The surface tension of each resin is greater than that of the release material such that the resin or resins are pulled away from the release material prior to curing to produce a fish-eye appearance having a strong and durable finish.
