Method of forming a synthetic surface simulating stone, marble or the like |
(57) It involves utilizing a plurality of resin systems with at least one having a veining
pigment composition having a component with a specific gravity greater than that of
the one resin system and a component with a specific gravity less than that of the
one resin system. A further aspect of the present invention includes utilizing a plurality
of resin systems and varying certain properties of the resin systems to achieve desired
variations in design and surface texture of the finished synthetic surface.
