• Spraying water slightly into the air will allow it to slightly cool before hitting the rink surface. Never direct the force of the water downward on the ice. • Start the water application at the lowest spot, and move across the rink applying a thin spray

2013年12月22日 · As the water cools, an air layer is formed so your new ice is not bonded to the original ice, but just crusted on top. As another posters said, I'd think spraying water on in thin layers which freeze almost immediately would be the best way to build it up.

The Traditional Method of making ice for your outdoor rink is the oldest method and is done by packing snow and then spraying it with water. This is still a very efficient approach as long as you get snowfalls early enough in your area and as long as you are building your rink in an area that has really cold winters.

The trick to spray coating ice is “wet ice is done ice”. In other words, start spraying a spot on the rink until it’s glossy and move on. Put the layers of water on as thin as possible to get a “Nice” glass like finish and also to prevent cracking or “lifting”. How water freezes will help explain this.

2024年7月14日 · Outdoor ice freezes from the surface down, so seeing water underneath the ice is essential. Find the right spot for your rink by filling in cracks and holes with snow, wetting down the snow, and scraping smooth. When the rink needs to be resurfaced, spray thin layers of water.

This is the BEST way to flood backyard ice for outdoor hockey! Keep your skating rink smooth by resurfacing with a garden hose. No zamboni or homeboni requ...

Never direct the force of the water downward at the ice. Instead, always spray up and outward. Do not apply more water until the first coat is completely frozen. Large amounts of water will draw the frost out of the ground, causing the water to soak into the ground which could mean a delay of several days until the ground re-freezes.

2023年12月6日 · It’s essential to pack it down and create a solid ‘slush’ by lightly spraying water, then letting it freeze. This creates a robust base for additional ice layers. Arguably the most significant challenge of flooding a rink over snow is preventing an uneven ice surface.

Follow this simple step-by-step process for ideal ice rink maintenance and storage. How you maintain your panels is determined by where it is installed. Outdoor rinks are naturally exposed to more dirt and debris than indoor rinks. If you notice any cracks, chips, or other damage, address it immediately to prevent it from worsening.

2021年8月31日 · When laying down your ice pad, fill your rink with water between 1/2 to 1 inch of water at a time until it is frozen. Keep adding water until your base is set, not exceeding 4 inches. Keep your eyes on the weather – this task can be sped up if you have a cold snap in the forecast.
