... and Then We Talked of The Rain
It doesn't make sense to paint when it is raining heavily, because the
paint will wash away. But you can successfully paint a wet field if no
rain is expected for the next few hours. If there is no other way, you can
even paint during a drizzle or mild rain, if it doesn't last too
long. On dry grass the paint will dry more quickly, but painting lines
on a wet field can and sometimes has to be done. In the initial
weekends we often paint fields wet with dew.
Check the weather forecast often. If rain is expected for Friday, try to paint on
Thursday; if much rain is expected Thursday and Friday, paint on Wednesday.
If you painted during rain, please go back to the field later to check
on the lines, and if necessary lay down an extra layer of paint (not during games.)
In case that it rains continually Wednesday, Thursday and
Friday, you'll have to paint on Saturday or Sunday (after games, if
they're not cancelled) so as not to lose the field layout. And repaint again on
Thursday or Friday.
