An applicator device for applying a surface treatment to create a solid surface including a storage vessel for carrying the treatment comprising two parallel sides connected by four elongated sides, an opening on a first elongated side of the vessel that permits ingress and egress of the treatment, and a pouring spout attached to the opening in the first elongated side of the vessel. The spout includes a first section proximal to the vessel that is angled with respect to the first elongated side of the vessel, and a distal end of the spout angled from the first section to be perpendicular to the first elongated side of the vessel. The distal end includes a plurality of openings to distribute the treatment.

Durable surface treatment and applicator

A method for treating golf course sand traps to reduce contamination of the sand and to reduce erosion. The bottom of the trap, which is substantially devoid of playing sand is roughened. An initial amount of hydrophobic liquid polyurethane is applied to the roughened soil on the bottom of the trap. The trap is raked and an additional amount of hydrophobic liquid polyurethane is applied to the bottom of the trap. A thin layer of sand is applied to the bottom of the trap and a further additional amount of hydrophobic liquid polyurethane is applied to the sand and the sand is raked. The thin layer of sand is sprayed with water and the trap is permitted to cure for approximately 24 hours. A sufficient amount of playing sand is then added to the trap so the trap is playable.
