Re: p2 for soccer fields

["Dr Henry" <henryb@itt.edu>]

There is a machine I've seen that they use on highways
when they paint the lines or remove them.  It is basically
a propane burner or electric heater that either burns off the lines
or helps the paint dry faster (it may be two different machines).  Maybe
contact the local highway department to see what it is called.

hi everyone. Anyone know of preferable options for "burning" soccer field 
lines? see comments below....
-----------------------
... they use lacquer thinner to burn the lines. He did not know of an 
alternative.

One of our school districts telephoned me to ask if we knew of an 
environmentally safe chemical that they could use to burn lines on their 
soccer field.  She said they are currently painting lines, and she thought 
that paint was not environmentally acceptable.

Sports field lining could be made, using a paint machine or lime powder 
machine, over the natural grass or artificial turf.

Some clean out grass from the lining area and make it dirt ground before 
lining is applied. Cleanout may be accomplished by applying weed killer or 
burning the area with paint thinner or gasoline.
