Products you can see STMA Conference in Long Beach New versatile outdoor adhesive NORDOT Adhesive #34P-4 from Synthetic Sur- faces Inc. is a new, one component outdoor ad- hesive that was designed to install and/or repair synthetic turf and other outdoor surfaces in widely variable and sometimes hostile weather conditions. It fills the need for a versatile adhe- sive which allows the outdoor installation and repair season to ex- pand from only "fair weather" days to year-round. It can be applied to a dry or damp surface at any outdoor temperature and humidity in which an installer can work. It is particularly useful in cold weather, when turf installations and repairs usually stop because, the company says, no other adhesive can be used for installation from hot desert temperatures down to below freezing. After curing, it has durability both above ground and under water.

Pro Mound alleviates common wear problems cre- ated by hitters and pitchers.

It is highly durable, helps reduce maintenance, and gives players more solid footing season after season. Step 1: Remove the top 4-6 inches of infield. Step 2: Lightly water and allow to soak in.
