Application Methods
 |
Refer to the Court Surface
Guidelines for surface preparation procedures. The SportMaster Acrylic
Color System is applied in three separate applications and is
accomplished by use of a 24" to 48" long, flexible, 50 to 70
durometer, rubber squeegee of good quality and in good condition.
The first two coats are filler coats. The first coat will be applied
in a perpendicular direction to the playing net. The second coat and
finish coat will be applied parallel with the playing net. Each
application must thoroughly dehydrate before application of
succeeding coat. The entire surface shall be checked for ridges and
imperfections after each filler coat and scraped smooth and cleaned
of all loose debris. Care must be taken to insure a smooth and
uniform texture, free from ridges and tool marks, as the final coat
is not to be scraped. An economy color system, that can be applied
to existing courts in good condition, would consist of one filler
coat and one finish coat. The application method would remain the
same. |
Drying Time
30 to 90 minutes under
optimum conditions. Humidity, surface temperature and ambient
temperature will affect drying process.
Limitations and Precautions
SportMaster Acrylic Color
should not be applied when ambient temperature is below 50° F or
when surface temperature is above 140° F. Do not apply when rain is
imminent. Do not store in direct sunlight. Keep from freezing.
SportMaster acrylic color should be allowed to cure for 24 hours
before courts are opened for use.
