Abstract: A method and apparatus for applying a UV-curable, anti-fungal coating to raw building materials, and a business method for selling said coated raw building materials is described. The method may include supplying a volume of raw building materials to a conveyor system that conveys the raw building materials through a coating station wherein a UV-curable, anti-fungal coating is applied to the raw building materials. The conveyor system then conveys the coated raw building materials through a drying station, wherein a source of radiation, such as UV lamps, irradiate the raw building material to cure the coating. In addition to its anti-fungal properties, the coating, when dry, may mask cosmetic irregularities and provide a uniform appearance to the raw building materials, while allowing lumber grade stamps to remain visible.
