4. SURFACE PREPARATION
4.1 Base Construction
Surface must meet or exceed the American Sports
Builders (ASBA) applicable guidelines. Upgrading
and recoating previously colored surfaces requires the
surface and base construction to be in sound condition
and in compliance with the applicable ASBA guidelines.
4.2 New Hot-Mix Asphalt Cure
New hot-mix asphalt surfaces must be allowed to cure

of dirt, loose or flaking paint, oily materials or chemi-
cal residues, vegetation or any other foreign matter
that may prevent the proper bonding.

The following mix design has been found to be
satisfactory for most surface conditions. The mix may
be varied to suit individual job requirements through
modification of silica sand and water.

5.3 Mixing
After the addition of water and silica sand to the
PLUSH
™
ACRYLIC RESURFACER concentrate,
thorough mixing is required. Make sure you have
empty pails on hand prior to beginning project as you
will need to add water per below. To mix properly,
split the contents of the pail in half, add ½ of the mix
amount to each pail to achieve the desired mix. A
mechanical mixer is recommended and the mixture
should be stirred until homogeneous. Periodic mixing
should take place as the job progresses to ensure
consistent application. In no case should PLUSH
™
ACRYLIC RESURFACER be diluted more than 3
gallons of water per 5 gallon pail.
