The contrasting colour makes the repair look like a frame around the surfacing and gives a decorative design finish. As wet pour shrinks then any graphics installed or day joints is a point of weakness of the surface area and will need repairing in its lifetime.

Wet pour is a low maintenance safety surface specification. It is advised to clean the rubber playground surface area and a regular brush will remove dirt and natural debris which can get stuck within the pores of the wetpour system.

The weakest points tend to be around the perimeter or between day joints or where two colours meet. There is no known reason why this happens and can happen to safety surfacing of any colour, any depth and installed on any sub base. Repairs should not be undertaken in the first 12 months of newly installed wet pour surfaces wherever practically possible as this is the period where the majority of shrinking occurs and if done too early after the original installation then the shrinkage is very likely to continue and the repairs need redoing. The wider the area of surfacing the more the wet pour surface is likely to see the effects of shrinkage. Whilst narrow pathways still shrink the effect is less noticeable. Compacted stone bases when the wetpour shrinks tend to need the repairs the most. This is because some of the mot stone is taken with the shrinking wetpour. This causes the moving stone to rise over the fixed stone causing a lifting effect which can lead to trip points. There is also a tendency to lift the raised playground surfacing to investigate the issue, this can lead to more stone movement adding to the lifting effect.
