<p>A method for applying a pattern (55) to a target surface includes the steps of applying a coating of membrane material (30) over a selected portion of a substrate (20). The substrate (20) imparts a pattern to the membrane material (30) corresponding to a pattern (55) to be applied to the target surface. A support member (35) is positioned in contact with an outer portion of the membrane material(30). The support member (35) has a higher rigidity than the membrane material (30). The method may also combine the steps of curing the membrane material (30) to bond the support member (35) to the membrane. When bonded to the membrane, the support member (35) maintains at least a portion of the membrane in a substantially taut condition to prevent a portion of the membrane from folding onto itself. The membrane is then employed to impart the pattern (55) to the target surface.</p> |
