Abstract: A glue applicator for the installation of laminate flooring on subfloors has three laterally spaced nozzles for applying separate beads of glue onto the back of a plank of laminate flooring. Two nozzles are spaced for applying separate beads of glue along the lateral edges of a plank, the third nozzle is spaced for applying beads of glue through the center of the plank. Flanges on the sides of the glue applicator position the beads of glue on the back of a plank of laminate flooring and standoff flanges hold the nozzles above the back of the plank a sufficient distance for assuring that the glue applicator of this invention does not smear the beads.

Abstract: A molding composition which, when cured, is useful as an artificial stone composition, is disclosed. The composition comprises between about 10 to about 25 parts by weight of a non-volatile polyester backbone resin; between about 10 to about 25 parts by weight of an ethylenically unsaturated monomer and between about 50 to about 80 parts by weight of a filler selected from the group consisting of alumina trihydrate, borax, hydrated magnesium calcium carbonate and calcium sulfate dihydrate. When an artificial stone composition simulating granite is desired, the molding composition further comprises chips of a previously cured thermosetting resinous composition. The compositions are produced in a vented but essentially closed mold through which heating and cooling media can freely flow.
