DESCRIPTIONCRACKSPAN is a permanent
crack repair system which allows movement of a
crack under a high strength, flexible, membrane.
This 24" wide membrane is adhered to the court
surface using a highly flexible, waterproof,
elastomeric bonding liquid along the outer
8 inches of the sides and ends. The
remaining 8 inches in the center of the membrane
is exposed to a "Soft Coat", allowing free
movement of the membrane in this area as the
crack expands and contracts. CrackSpan is
specifically designed to repair cracks on an
asphalt or concrete tennis court or other
similar recreational surfaces having foot
traffic only.
USE
Tennis courts, basketball courts, and all
other recreational surfaces where permanent
repair of cracking is desired.
APPLICATORS
Use a standard soft bristle brush or a
standard paint roller with medium cover.
DRYING TIME
CrackSpan Bond Coat and Soft Coat will dry in
about hour under optimum outdoor temperature and
humidity conditions. Always allow product to
thoroughly dry before application of any sport
surface coatings.
Stir Fabric Bond Well Before Using. The
product is “Read-To-Use” Do not dilute with
water.
The CrackSpan Permanent crack repair system
is installed in the following stages:
Clean out cracks and patch with a latex
cement patching compound.
Apply 2 coats of CrackSpan Soft Coat over
an area covering 4” on either side of the
crack, using a 3” paint roller with medium
cover. Allow to dry thoroughly before
proceeding with next stage.
Apply CrackSpan Bond Coat to the prepared
area. Do not apply Bond Coat directly on to
the 8" area, centered over the crack, where
the Soft Coat has been applied. Embed the
24" wide polyester fabric directly into the
Bond Coat while still wet. Immediately
follow with saturation coat to cover the
entire fabric membrane and allow to dry.
Fabric should be thoroughly saturated with
Bond coat. Be sure the Bond Coat is
thoroughly dry before proceeding.
Optional: Apply 12" wide
fiberglass fabric to all edges of the
install polyester fabric, using the same
method described above. Overlap the fabric
6” over the edge of the polyester membrane.
Apply two coats of heavy acrylic
cement slurry mixed with sand over the entire
CrackSpan system before proceeding with the
court resurfacing. Rub edges with a masonry
rubbing stone after each coat.
