Patent ID: 6881440

Claim:
A method for protecting surfaces, comprising the steps of: inspecting the application surface; applying masking materials to protect the application surface boundary; protecting any functional openings in the application surface using convex polyvinyl molding materials over the functional openings; preheating a protective material to a temperature of 20 degrees Fahrenheit to 120 degrees Fahrenheit; applying a wet releasing agent to the application surface once an ambient temperature range between 20 degrees Fahrenheit and 120 degrees Fahrenheit is met; using an application means to apply the heated protective material to coat the application surface and wet releasing agent; inspecting the protective material coating for consistency; adjusting the protective material coating by reapplying the protective material as necessary; allowing the protective material coating to cure; performing work around the coated application surface; completing the work around the coated application surface; locating any functional openings in the coated application surface by the convex protrusion in the coated application surface; opening the functional opening by cutting through or pulling off the convex protrusion in the application coating and convex polyvinyl mold thereunder; performing any necessary work to the functional opening; completing any necessary work to the functional opening; removing any masking materials used to protect the application surface; removing the intact remaining protective coating from the coated application surface; and reusing the intact protective coating for surfaces with an identical surface area and geometry as the previous application surface without applying any releasing agent or new protective coating materials.
