A method and composition of material for coating the surface of a structure to
prevent animals from chewing on the structure. The composition includes Isophorone,
organo-clay absorber, Bisphenol A Diglycidal Ether Polymer and a polyamide resin
hardener. It may also have glass flakes or mica therein as well as a microencapsulated
acrylic resin-based sealant and a flocculated silica thickener. The method includes
preparing the composition having the Isophorone in a polymer resin, mixing the
polymer hardener to the prepared composition to form a coating composition, and
coating the surface, such as a piece of wood, with the coating composition to prevent
animals from chewing on it. Coating may be by painting or troweling the composition
onto the structure.
