CUSIP No. 243593100

     This Amendment No. 2 to Schedule 13D is filed on behalf of Robert W.
Johnson IV for the purpose of reporting the acquisition and disposition of
certain shares of  common stock, par value $0.01 per share (the "Shares"), of
Decora Industries, Inc., a Delaware corporation ("Decora") by virtue of (i) the
vesting of the Series C Warrant to purchase Shares, dated November 3, 1995 (the
"Series C Warrant") pursuant to its terms and (ii) the payment in full upon
maturity of the convertible promissory note, dated November 3, 1992 (the
"Note"), respectively.

Item 4.  Purpose of Transaction

     Item 4 is amended and supplemented as follows:

     Mr. Johnson no longer beneficially owns the Shares which were issuable
upon conversion of the Note.  The Note was paid in full on its maturity date,
May 3, 1998, pursuant to its terms.  Simultaneously with the payment in full of
the Note, Mr. Johnson acquired beneficial ownership of the Shares subject to
the Series C Warrant pursuant to the terms thereof.  Reference is hereby made
to Amendment No. 1 to Schedule 13D ("Amendment No. 1") filed by Mr. Johnson on
December 28, 1995, which is incorporated herein by this reference.  The
material terms of the Note and Series C Warrant are described more fully in
Amendment No. 1.

Item 5.  Interest in Securities of the Issuer

     Item 5 is amended and supplemented as follows:

     (a)  According to the most recently available filing with the Securities
and Exchange Commission by Decora, there are 7,331,378 Shares outstanding. 
Assuming exercise of the Series A, B and C Warrants (as defined below) held by
Mr. Johnson, there would be 7,716,378 Shares outstanding (the "Outstanding
Shares").  

     Mr. Johnson beneficially owns 773,416, or 10.0%, of the Outstanding
Shares.  Of the Shares beneficially owned by Mr. Johnson, 388,416 are in the
form of Common Stock; 45,000 are issuable to Mr. Johnson upon exercise of the
Series A Warrant to purchase Shares, dated November 3, 1992, as amended (the
"Series A Warrant"); 20,000 are issuable to Mr. Johnson upon exercise of the
Series B Warrant to purchase Shares, dated November 3, 1992, as amended (the
"Series B Warrant"), 260,000 are issuable to Mr. Johnson upon exercise of the
Series C Warrant and 60,000 are issuable to Mr. Johnson's children, which are
held in custodian accounts, of which Mr. Johnson is the custodian.

     Mr. Johnson disclaims beneficial ownership of 27,000 Shares that are held

by trusts, of which Mr. Johnson is sole trustee, that Mr. Johnson established
for his children.

     (b)  Mr. Johnson has sole voting and dispositive power over the Shares
reported herein as being owned by him.

     (c)  The vesting of the Series C Warrant and the maturity of the Note, as
more fully described in Item 4 hereof, are the only transactions effected by
Mr. Johnson in the Shares during the past 60 days and in the 60 days on or
prior to May 3, 1998.

     (d)  Not applicable.

     (e)  Not applicable.

     After reasonable inquiry and to the best of my knowledge and belief, I
certify that the information set forth in this Statement is true, complete and
correct.
