Abstract
A process of pre-finishing wood composite panels and/or structures having flat and contoured surfaces to result in a structure exhibiting the appearance of natural hard wood includes the steps of (1) providing a textured substrate; (2) applying a ground coat to the substrate; (3) applying a buffing glaze to the substrate; (4) selectively removing a portion of the buffing glaze from the substrate; and (5) applying a sealer to retain the remaining buffing glaze in textured ticks of the substrate.
