System and method for efficient and ergonomic waterproofing of joints and fasteners
A system for efficiently and ergonomically waterproofing a weakness area of a roof. The system includes an airless sprayer system capable of attaching to one or more attachments. The airless sprayer system is connected to a reservoir containing a waterproofing liquid. The attachments include an encapsulating attachment and a duckbilled attachment, either attachment capable of connecting to an extending wand. The system may be used atop a roof by either placing the encapsulating attachment over a fastener or the duckbilled end over a seam and pulling the trigger of a spray gun of the airless sprayer system until either the fastener or seam are sufficiently covered in waterproofing liquid. By connecting the wand therebetween the spray gun and the attachment, the user of the system may be able to remain standing when applying the waterproofing liquid. A method for efficiently and ergonomically waterproofing a roof weakness using the system.

APPARATUS AND METHODS FOR PANELS AND ACCESSORIES FOR USE IN WET ENVIRONMENTS SUCH AS BATHS AND SHOWERS
The present invention introduces a bath or shower system panel and a distinctive method for its production. The panel is constructed from a porous substrate plate, primarily made from ABS (acrylonitrile butadiene styrene), onto which an image is directly printed using either 2-dimensional or 3-dimensional ink. To enhance durability and provide waterproofing, a UV-cured coating is directly applied onto the printed image. This coating can be silicone-compatible, allowing for effective sealing of multiple panels at their edges. The uniqueness of the system lies in the direct ink printing, which forgoes the use of intermediaries like binders, and in the UV-cured coating, which not only offers water resistance but also chemical resistance and potential antimicrobial properties. The invention also covers methods of panel production, emphasizing substrate plate formation, UV printing, and the separate UV-cured coating application processes. This system reimagines bath/shower paneling for enhanced visual appeal, durability, and functionality.
