Title: Line Marking?
Post by: Kez on May 02, 2017, 09:22:06 AM

Just a quick one guys. What sort paint can I use to mark the crease lines in our artificial nets?

Cheers

I would have a go with white spray paint. mask up both sides of the line, cover the the pitch so you don't get over spray and off you go.

I use Homebase' cheapest large tub of super white emulsion for my grass tracks, slightly watered down maybe 80/20 and then use it neat for the Astro strip. Not needed to remark yet and probably wont for the rest of the year. For a practice net, I'd probably remark mid season and it's best to use a stiffer/shorter bristled brush to get paint into the surface more.
