CrackSpan Installation Steps
 
Clean out the crack and fill with latex
cement patching compound,using a steel trowel as depicted.
Scrape or sand the crack repair until
flush with the court surface.
Apply an 8 inch wide coat (centered
over the crack) of CrackSpan Soft Coat using a 3" paint
roller.
 
After the CrackSpan Soft Coat has
thoroughly dried, apply CrackSpan Bond Coat in an area
approximately 12" around the Soft Coat for about 5 feet. Do
not coat on top of the Soft Coat.
While the Bond Coat is still wet, roll
out a 4 foot strip of CrackSpan Membrane directly on top of
the Bond Coat. Apply more CrackSpan Bond Coat over the
top of the membrane until the fabric is
thoroughly saturated (including where the membrane is
covering the Soft Coat).
Repeat this process until the crack is
covered with the membrane. Cut the membrane with scissors where
necessary to follow the direction of the crack.
Overlap the the pieces of the membrane at least 3" where these
cuts are made.
After the CrackSpan repair has
thoroughly dried, apply 1 to 2 coats of sand-filled acrylic
cement slurry,
using a coating squeegee or a 12" to 24" steel trowel, as depicted. You should apply
the slurry coats
parallel to the direction of the crack repair, making sure
to overlap the edges of the fabric by 3 inches or more.
After the slurry coats are dry, sand and/or scrape
to remove all bumps and ridges. You are now ready to surface the
court. Apply a minimum of 2 coats of sand-filled
color-coating over the entire court. |
