Abstract

A method of coating a wooden substrate or surface comprising the steps of depositing a layer of ultraviolet light curable polymer in an uncured form to at least one surface of a wooden substrate; and curing said polymer with an amount of UV energy sufficient to polymerize said polymer. The method optionally comprising the further steps of: scuffing the surface of the cured polymer; depositing a second layer of ultraviolet light curable polymer in an uncured form to the scuffed surface; and curing the second layer of ultraviolet light curable polymer with an amount of UV energy sufficient to polymerize said second layer. The method also contemplates a further step comprising scuffing the surface of the cured polymer; and depositing a top coat thereon.
