ABSTRACT:
A method of forming a decorative surface texture on a plastic component is disclosed. A planar component, composed of PVC or other plastic material, is cut and routed according to a desired size and shape. The plastic component is then heated to a temperature and for a duration such that the upper and lower surfaces of the panel shrink and the corners or edges of the panel, as well as its cut portions, melt. This produces an antique effect on the surface of the plastic component.
