  • Publication number: 20030215662
    Abstract: An ornamental molding and method of manufacture have a positive molding (1) made of solidified foam material coated with predetermined cementitious-like material having a selected ornamental shape and predetermined resistivity to natural destructiveness. A negative molding (6) in which the positive molding is formed also is made preferably from solidified foam material that is coated with a release agent. The solidified foam material is preferred for its light weight, ease of forming and low cost. Additional advantages of the solidified foam material are long life with coating protection for the positive mold and contrastingly easy destruction and discard of the negative mold after being used to make the positive molding. For a wide selection of ornamental moldings, the positive and the negative moldings can be formed together by parting them from a single piece of solidified foam material with a cutting instrument (8) that can include a hot wire, a hot rod, a fluid jet stream or a laser beam.
