Applying Turface MVP to a skinned area, such as an athletic infield, helps improve soil structure and moisture management. The process involves preparing the surface, spreading the material, and incorporating it into the existing soil.
Application Process for Skinned Infields
Based on standard application methods for skinned surfaces, follow these steps:
Step-by-Step Guide
Here is a breakdown of the application process:
Step | Action | Details |
---|---|---|
1 | Prepare Surface | Lightly moisten the skinned area to loosen the surface in preparation for mixing. Do not soak the area. |
2 | Spread Material | Spread 2-3 tons of Turface MVP evenly over the infield area. |
3 | Incorporate | Nail drag the infield twice, working the Turface MVP into the top 1-1.5" of the playing surface. |
Key Considerations
- Moisture Level: The surface should be just damp enough to loosen, not saturated.
- Even Distribution: Ensure the 2-3 tons are spread uniformly across the target area for consistent results.
- Proper Incorporation: The nail dragging step is crucial for integrating the Turface MVP into the top layer of the infield soil, which allows it to function effectively.
Following these steps helps ensure the Turface MVP is correctly applied and integrated into the skinned area, contributing to a more stable and playable surface.
