Abstract: A molded rectangular panel for use as skirting on a mobile home or the like, comprising a panel having a raised and detailed masonry surface, a portion of masonry surface adjacent one end of the panel terminating along a line which constitutes a cutline or a line of severance for that end such that a given panel, when the end is severed along the cutline, can be placed in overlapping relationship with an adjacent panel of the same design such that the interruption of the masonry pattern appears to be avoided.

Abstract: An improved method of forming a decorative panel of molded plastic comprising the steps of constructing a form having a detailed masonry surface; covering the detailed surface with a mold release material; applying a thin layer of gel coat over the mold release; applying a plurality of layers of fiberglass matte and resin over the gel coat layer; allowing the plurality of fiberglass matte and resin layers to harden thereby forming a heat resistant mold having a female side being formed against the detailed surface and a side opposite from the female side; removing the mold from the form; perforating the mold thereby providing fluid communication between the two sides; connecting a vacuum apparatus to the side opposite of the mold; placing a sheet of high impact plastic above and adjacent the female side of the mold; activating a heater thereby heating the plastic sheet to a pliable state; activating the vacuum apparatus thereby drawing the plastic sheet into the female side of the mold; and removing the forme
