SURFACE PREPARATION

Tennis court surface must be cleaned entirely of dust, dirt, and debris. Repair of pavement surface defects, depressions and cracks must be completed prior to application of tennis court paint. All repairs must be flush and smooth to adjoining surfaces, before resurfacing.

New asphalt court surfaces must cure 14 to 30 days prior to application. It is recommended that any new or uncoated asphalt surface receive one or more coats of Acrylic Resurfacer (Technical Bulletin CMT – 3) as required by surface roughness and porosity to provide a smooth, dense underlayment for application of colored tennis court surfaces.

New concrete court surfaces must cure 28 days prior to application. Concrete surfaces should have good perimeter drainage, a vapor barrier, and a medium broom finish or similar roughened texture. Etch surface with muriatic or phosphoric acid and apply SportMaster Acrylic Adhesion Promoter (Technical Bulletin CMT – 21), prior to application of tennis court surfacing system.
