By brush or special spray/roller machines (thinning up to 10% may be required)
Surfaces that are cold – below 5°C – are not suitable for coating
Hot surfaces – above 30°C – should be cooled with water spray before application, otherwise paint will dry before film formation is completed
New bitumen should be left to harden off before coating
The time will vary with the nature of the surface and the weather (minimum 3 weeks in summer and up to 3 months in winter)
New concrete should be allowed to mature for several months before coating
Recommended application between March and October
Initial play on the surface:
After spraying, courts are usually left for one week before play recommences
At the beginning and towards the end of the summer season when temperatures are cooler it is advisable to extend this period by a few days depending on the prevailing weather
Optimum slip resistance is only achieved between two and three weeks after spraying - this is because the court surface must bed in with use

Correct footwear must be worn
