          Application No. 08/095,369                                                  


               This is an appeal under 35 U.S.C. § 134 from the                       
          examiner’s refusal to allow claims 2 and 4 through 24 which                 
          are all the  claims in the application.                                     


                                    THE INVENTION                                     
               The invention is directed to a four component composition              
          for use as a curing agent and adhesion promotion in a hydroxy               
          terminated diorganosiloxane coating.  The composition contains              
          a first component which is an epoxy resin selected from a                   
          bisphenol epichlorohydrin reaction product, an epoxylated                   
          novolac and a cycloaliphatic epoxide.  The second, third and                
          fourth components respectively are an amine functional silane               
          of a specific formula, a catalytic amount of an organic                     
          metallic compound and a solvent.                                            


                                      THE CLAIM                                       
               Claim 23 is illustrative of appellants’ invention and is               
          reproduced below:                                                           
               23. A composition consisting essentially of                            
               (A) an epoxy resin selected from the group consisting of               


                                          2
