Freeze/Thaw Effect. of Har-THA C*arts <br />Frost occurs in the Her-Tru clay court surface profile when water in the <br />surface, freezes. Depending on the extent of the freezing weather, from <br />may extend through the entire 1" thickness of Har-Tru, When sunlight and <br />higher temperature reach the frozen surface the following morning, these <br />ire crystals will begin to melt from the top of the surface downward through <br />the profits. <br />it may take several hours for all ice crystals to melt in the profile. While <br />these Ice crystals are melting, water will form on top of the surface and form <br />puddles until the entice surface below begins to thaw. Once the profile has <br />thawed completely the water will drain through the profile. <br />Until the entire profile, has thawed and the water has drained back down <br />into the profile, the surface may be too wet for maintenance practice a and <br />for tennis play. We recommend everyone stay off the surfaco until it is <br />playable and workable since any traffic on a wet surface may compromise <br />the duality of that surface. If players or court maintenance staff enters•the <br />playing area before. this drying cycle is complete, minor damage to the <br />surface ran occur. <br />To repair the indentations (footprints, roller marks, etc.) caused by entering <br />the playing area too gUlckly, use standard patching technlques or call Her- <br />Tru Sports or your local Mar-Tru clay Court material distributor for <br />guidance. <br />
