SURFACE PREPARATION
New asphalt must be cured for a minimum of 14 days and new concrete must cure a minimum of 30 days prior to application. Concrete surfaces must have a light to medium broomed finish. If concrete has a smooth finish you will need to have it shot blasted to get a textured surface.
New concrete must be acid etched and washed thoroughly. Do not let acid dry on the concrete surface.
RESURFACING
Clean and Fill Cracks - Remove dirt and vegetation from cracks with screwdriver, wire brush or another suitable instrument. Clean out cracks with hose and water and allow them to dry. Fill cracks up to 1” wide with suitable Acrylic Crack Filler. Allow crack filler to dry prior to applying PicklePlay. (Dry time varies depending on width and depth of crack).
Clean Surface - Sweep all dirt and loose debris from surface. Scrub all oil and gasoline stains with household detergent and water. Rinse off the entire surface with water and allow it to dry thoroughly before applying the surfacing materials.
MIXING
Every 5- gallon container of Resurfacer w/Sand needs 2- gallons of water added to it. Stir material thoroughly before using. Do not dilute Court Color RTU.
A drill and paddle mixer are recommended to ensure complete mixing of the product. The recommended minimum is a 9-amp mud-mixer type drill.
APPLICATION
Important. We do not recommended applying the materials when the surface is hot. Generally after 11:00 AM. It can create streaking, material will not flow properly, and wants to dry too fast.
Always keep material in the 8-12 inch wide pile that is poured down. When adding material to the pile, always pour the material into the center of the pile, not in front of or behind the pile. When applying the material with the squeegee, move the pile with the first third of the 36" Sport Squeegee. The remaining two thirds of the squeegee should be going over what you have already applied. The squeegee should be moved at a slight angle similar to a snow plow. If you are seeing ridges in the material after the last two thirds of the squeegee you are leaving too much material down. Try applying more down pleasure to the squeegee or walk more slowly to give the material time to move forward in front of the squeegee.
Apply 1-coat of Concrete Primer/Bonder with a short napped paint roller. Not necessary on asphalt surfaces
Apply 1 coat of TCS Acrylic Resurfacer with sand. You must add 2 gallons of water to every 5-gallon container. Apply with a soft rubber squeegee (50-60 durometer recommended for squeegee rubber softness).
Apply 2-coats of Court Color RTU with a soft rubber squeegee (50-60 durometer recommended for squeegee rubber softness), with the chosen color over the entire surface.
Important! When using a chalk line to mark area lines, always use white chalk. Red and blue chalk can bleed through color and create stains.
Allow each coat to dry completely before applying additional coats or lines.
DRYING TIME
Drying time is dependent on temperature, shade, humidity, etc. (1 to 4 hours of dry time per coat can be expected).
PLAYING LINE INSTALLATION
Measure playing lines marking with a white colored pencil to the center of each line. Using a WHITE chalk line snap the center line. Tape lines with a Line Taping Machine for best results, using a good quality high adhesion masking tape.
Apply one coat TCS Line Primer with a roller or brush. Allow to dry to touch.
Apply one coat TCS Textured White Line Paint over the TCS Line Primer. Allow to dry to touch and remove the masking tape.
CLEAN UP
Wash tools in water before material dries.
WEATHER CONDITIONS
Important. We do not recommended applying the materials when the surface is hot. It can create streaking, material will not flow, and wants to dry too fast. Generally after 11:00 AM.
Application temperature (surface & air temperatures) must be a minimum of 55 ºF and rising. Do not apply when temperature is expected to drop below 55 ºF within a 24- hour period. In areas where dew or fog accumulates in the early evening, it is best to coat in the morning. Stop coating by early afternoon (3:00 pm) to prevent washing off, which will occur if dew, fog, or rain arrives before coating dries.
Do not apply if rain is imminent or forecast within 24 hours of application.
COVERAGE (APPROXIMATE)
1 gallon of PicklePlay will cover approximately 90-100 sq. ft., depending on pavement porosity (450-500 sq. ft. per 5-gallon pail).
PRECAUTIONS
Do Not Freeze. Do Not Store At Temperatures Below 50 ºF.

Store material with container tightly closed and upright to avoid spillage. Do not store material in direct sunlight or in areas exceeding 100 degrees Fahrenheit. In case of spill, absorb and dispose of it in accordance with Federal, State, and local regulations.
