Only trained, sport-floor-experienced crews may perform the work. 3) Existing Conditions & Pre-Work Site Inspection: Contractor to field-verify square footage, substrate condition, expansion gaps, and transitions. Note any excessive cupping, crowning, loose boards, hollow areas, or water damage. Moisture Testing: Perform wood and ambient moisture/RH testing prior to work. Proceed only if stabilized per manufacturer tolerances. Protection: Protect adjacent walls, bleachers, goals, doors, equipment, and HVAC from dust/overspray.

Ensure adequate ventilation; follow product safety data sheets (SDS). No open flames; control ignition sources around solvent-based finishes. Comply with OSHA and local safety regulations; post signage to restrict access. 6) Protection, Curing & Turnover Cure Windows: Waterborne: light foot traffic after ~24-48 hrs; athletic use after 7 days (typical).
