DESCRIPTION:
The ARMOR^® Crack Repair System utilizes a knitted fabric that will expand as the crack widens. The secret to making this repair work is how it is purposely NOT bonded to the court in the vicinity of the crack, thereby allowing more of the fabric to absorb any movement or growth of the crack without the fabric tearing or delaminating from the surface. Thus, the reason why the ARMOR^® Crack Repair System works so well is that it effectively spreads the stress of the crack over a wide area of expandable fabric-other brand name repair "systems" do not do this.

Although your tennis court is technically still cracked, the filled cracks are hidden beneath our repair and then covered over completely with color-coating materials. Although it will not prevent cracks from developing elsewhere on the court, or prevent cracks from growing in length out beyond the repair, the ARMOR^® Crack Repair System successfully keeps repaired structural cracks from reappearing on the surface. There are some limitations and not all cracks are repairable with our product, so talk to your contractor about your specific court.

SURFACE PREPARATION:
The existing surface must be clean and contaminate free. The repair will not stick to dirt, mildew, pollen, dust, leaves, or loose paint. Scraping the surface of the court and blowing off all the debris is usually adequate; however, pressure washing the court surface is best.

Remove all previous crack repair materials that are loose or not bonded well to the court, including any rubberized crack filling material. If you can peel up the old repair or the existing surface coatings, then they must be removed in order to provide a sound base for the ARMOR^® Crack Repair System. This repair will only be as strong as the surface to which it is bonded.

INSTALLATION:
Installation of ARMOR^® does not leave margin for error; therefore, it is not a do-it-yourself project. ARMOR^® is sold to and installed by tennis court contractors who have the tools and experience necessary to understand the application. In most cases, the tennis court contractor will have been supplier-trained by an ARMOR^® representative and is thereby named a "certified" installer. It is absolutely imperative that ARMOR^® is installed according to our explicit instructions. Any deviation during installation will cause this system to fail.

LIMITATIONS:
• Do not install when temperature is below 70ºF or when temperatures go below 60ºF overnight.
• Do not install on overcast days (direct sunlight, not high temperatures, dries the adhesive best).
• Do not install the day after it has rained. Give the cracks a day of sunlight to dry out.
• Do not install when rain is predicted or likely that day or night.
• Do not install on dirty, damp, or cold surfaces.
• Do not install on cracks that emit moisture.
• Do not install with in-line skating materials as they are too brittle.
• Do not install using Asphalt Emulsion or over old or peeling Asphalt Emulsion.
• Do not use a rubber squeegee or broom to apply the glue and fabric.
