<p>Disclosed is a method of preparing a mat-faced cementitious article composite. A mat-faced article (e.g., board) is formed and the composite is formed upon application of a finish composition (e.g., hydrophobic). In one aspect, the matfaced gypsum article comprises a mat having an inner surface adjacent to a cementitious core first surface and an opposite outer mat surface. An aqueous cementitious finish composition is applied to the outside mat surface to form the matfaced cementitious article composite. Desirably, the finish composite can suitably be applied by a roller assembly comprising a finish roller. In some embodiments, the finish roller has an uneven surface, including for example, grooves or depressions (e.g., circumferential or longitudinal) defined therein.</p> |
