• Drying takes from 1-2 hours in good conditions
• Avoid painting in high humidity or when rain is expected
• Over coating may be undertaken when first coat is dry to touch
• Curing depends on atmospheric conditions
• Please refer to specialist applicator recommendations regarding play after spraying is completed

Preparation

• All surfaces should be free from loose and flaking material, dirt, grease and vegetative growth
• Any debris should be removed by vacuum or pressure blasting
• Brushing (manual or machine) may be suitable in particularly difficult areas such as under trees or areas constantly in the shade
• Decatone Tarmac Binder should be used to stabilise a friable, porous or aged concrete court or a fretting macadam court

Application

• Stir well before use as stainers used can separate with time, mix thoroughly when using different batches
• Please follow the Coverage rates shown in Spreading Rate Section
• 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
• Do not over-paint/seal court
• Recommended application between March and October

Note. During the summer months there is a possibility of paint skinning from warm weather/transportation (top of inside rim). We recommend that the paint is pre-filtered on site through a course filter to remove skins before spraying.
