Description Technical Specifications Material Type: Elastomeric Acrylic Polymer Application Method: Squeeze-bottle applied but with filler Elongation: >200% (Flexible recovery) Primary Use: Expansion joints and active structural cracks Available Colors: Dark Green, Light Green, Blue, Red, Neutral Texture: Smooth, pliable finish Engineered for Slab Movement Standard crack fillers are rigid and will often fail if the court slabs shift due to temperature changes. However, Tennis Court Crack Flex is specifically engineered to remain pliable. Because it features over 200% elongation, it can expand and contract during extreme freeze-thaw cycles. Consequently, it is the ideal solution for structural expansion joints and northern climates where slab movement is inevitable. Note: For standard, non-moving cracks that require a sand-fortified finish, we recommend our high-solids 1-gallon or 5-gallon fillers. Explore our full range of tennis court crack repair solutions. Installation Instructions Joint Preparation: Clean the joint thoroughly of all debris, weeds, and old filler. Therefore, ensure the area is completely dry before beginning the application. Application: Pushing the material directly from the squeeze bottle, fill the crack or expansion joint. Use a flexible handheld scraper to push the material down to fill the void (if possible). Specifically, avoid overfilling to keep the surface level with the court. Finishing: If necessary, use a flexible handheld scraper (drywall scraper) to strike off excess material and ensure a flush finish. Depth Guidelines: For deep expansion joints, apply the material in 1/2″ increments. By doing this, you allow the filler to outgas and cure correctly without trapping moisture in the joint.
