Surface Preparation
Proper preparation is essential for coating adhesion and long-term court performance.
New Asphalt
Allow new asphalt to cure for a minimum of 14 days before applying the acrylic surfacing system.
New Concrete
New concrete must cure for a minimum of 30 days before coating.
Concrete should have a light-to-medium broom finish. Smooth-finished concrete must be mechanically prepared, such as by shot blasting, to create the necessary surface profile.
New concrete must also be acid etched and thoroughly washed. Never allow acid to dry on the concrete surface.
Existing Court Resurfacing
Clean & Repair Cracks
Remove dirt, vegetation, and loose material from cracks using a screwdriver, wire brush, or other suitable tool. Clean the cracks with water and allow them to dry completely.
Fill cracks up to 1" wide with a suitable TCS Acrylic Crack Filler. Allow all crack repairs to dry completely before applying the resurfacing system. Drying time will vary according to crack width and depth.
Clean the Court Surface
Sweep away all dirt and loose debris. Scrub oil, gasoline, and other contaminated areas with household detergent and water.
Rinse the entire court thoroughly and allow it to dry completely before applying resurfacing materials.
Mixing Instructions
Proper mixing is critical for consistent texture, color, and application.
TCS Court Resurfacer With Sand: Add 2 gallons of water to every 5-gallon container and mix thoroughly before application.
TCS Tennis Court Base: Do not add water. Shake the TCS Tint before use, add the required tint to every pail of TCS Tennis Court Base, and mix thoroughly.
A drill and paddle mixer are recommended. For best results, use a minimum 9-amp mud-mixer-type drill.
Recommended Tennis Court Application System
For a typical 120' x 60' one-color tennis court:
-
Concrete courts only: Apply 1 coat of TCS Concrete Primer/Bonder using a short-nap paint roller. Concrete Primer is not required on asphalt courts.
-
Apply 1 coat of TCS Court Resurfacer With Sand. Add 2 gallons of water to every 5-gallon container and mix thoroughly. Apply using a soft rubber squeegee.
-
Apply 2 coats of TCS Tennis Court Base in the selected color over the entire 120' x 60' court surface. Add the appropriate TCS Tint to every pail, mix thoroughly, and do not add water.
-
Allow each coat to dry completely before applying the next coat or installing tennis court lines.
A 50–60 durometer soft rubber squeegee is recommended for applying the resurfacer and color coatings.
Professional Squeegee Application
Avoid applying acrylic court coatings when the pavement is excessively hot. In hot weather, application after approximately 11:00 AM can cause the material to dry too quickly, resulting in streaking and poor flow.
Maintain an 8–12" wide pile of material ahead of the squeegee. When adding more coating, pour directly into the center of the existing pile—never in front of or behind it.
When using a 36" Sport Squeegee, use approximately the first third of the blade to push the material forward. The remaining two-thirds should glide over the freshly coated surface. Hold the squeegee at a slight angle, similar to a snowplow.
If ridges appear behind the trailing portion of the squeegee, apply additional downward pressure or slow your pace to allow the material to flow properly.
Tennis Court Line Installation
Important: Always use white chalk when laying out tennis court lines. Red or blue chalk can bleed through acrylic coatings and permanently stain the finished court.
Measure the tennis court playing lines and mark the center of each line using a white colored pencil. Snap the layout using a WHITE chalk line.
For professional-quality tennis court lines:
-
Tape the lines using a Line Taping Machine and high-quality, high-adhesion masking tape.
-
Apply 1 coat of TCS Line Primer with a roller or brush.
-
Allow the Line Primer to dry to the touch.
-
Apply 1 coat of TCS Textured White Line Paint.
-
Allow the line paint to dry to the touch and remove the masking tape.
Drying Time
Typical drying time is approximately 1–4 hours per coat, depending on temperature, humidity, shade, airflow, and other environmental conditions.
Allow every coat to dry completely before recoating or installing playing lines.
Weather & Application Conditions
For best results:
-
Surface and air temperatures must be at least 55°F and rising
-
Do not apply if temperatures are expected to fall below 55°F within 24 hours
-
Avoid application when the court surface is excessively hot
-
Do not apply if rain is imminent or forecast within 24 hours
-
In areas with evening dew or fog, begin coating in the morning
-
Stop coating by approximately 3:00 PM when early evening moisture is expected
Rain, fog, or dew contacting the coating before it has dried can damage or wash off freshly applied material.
Coverage
TCS Tennis Court Base covers approximately 90–100 sq. ft. per gallon, depending on pavement porosity and surface texture.
A 5-gallon pail typically covers approximately 450–500 sq. ft. per coat.
Coverage figures are approximate. Actual material requirements can vary based on surface porosity, texture, condition, application technique, and material loss during installation.
Clean Up & Storage
Wash tools and application equipment with water before the material dries.
Do not freeze. Do not store below 50°F. Keep containers tightly closed and upright. Protect from direct sunlight and temperatures exceeding 100°F.
Precautions
KEEP OUT OF REACH OF CHILDREN. Do not take internally. If swallowed, contact a physician immediately. In case of eye contact, flush immediately with water for 15 minutes and contact a physician.
Absorb spills and dispose of material according to applicable federal, state, and local regulations.
