sealant joints. The contractor shall be responsible for the preparation and replacement of joint sealers in ALL joints whether shown on the drawings or not.
3.2 PREPARATION
A. Remove loose materials and foreign matter which impair adhesion of joint filler. B. Clean joints by grinding, sandblasting, or wire brushing to expose a sound surface
free of contamination and laitance. C. Ensure structurally sound surfaces, dry, clean, free of dirt, moisture, loose particles,
oil, grease, asphalt, tar, paint, wax, rust, waterproofing, curing and parting compounds, membrane materials, and other foreign matter.
D. Prime the bond line using Prime Coat where required by the sealant manufacturer installation instructions or as required for proper adhesion, allowing a minimum of one hour drying and cure time before installing sealant. Primer should be within shelf life and poured from containers onto rags, or into applicator bottles that can be poured onto rags. If brushes are used, primer should be poured a small amount at a time into another open container to avoid contaminating primer and to minimize primer being exposed too long. Pour out no more than can be applied in 30 minutes. If primer becomes cloudy or contaminated, discard. Prime no more substrate than can be sealed in one day or shift.
E. Where the possibility of joint filler staining of adjacent areas or materials exists, mask joints prior to application.
1. Do not remove masking tape before joints have been tooled and initial cure of joint filler has taken place.
2. Work stained due to failure of proper masking precautions will not be accepted.

A. Solvent clean aluminum and any other non-porous surfaces with recommended solvent using the “Two Cloth Cleaning Method”.
B. Apply primer according to manufacturer’s instructions. C. Back-Up Material:
1. Install backer rod using blunt or rounded tools to assure uniform depth (+/- 1/8”) without puncturing or twisting. Closed cell rod shall be a minimum 20% oversized. Open cell rod shall be a minimum 50% oversized. Install bond breaker tape in shallow joints.
2. Install polyethylene joint filler in joints wider than 1/4 inch (6 mm) to back-up material per manufacturer's recommendations.
D. Bond Breaker: Install bond-breaker strip in joint to be sealed on top of back-up
material to prevent adhesion of sealant to back-up material; install per manufacturer's recommendations.
E. Sealant: 1. Mask or protect adjacent areas that are not to receive sealant.
20 1/4/2017
2. Apply sealant in joints using a pressure gun with nozzle cut to appropriate size. Deposit sealant in a uniform and continuous bead with no gaps or air pockets.
3. Tool joints to require configuration with a blunt instrument as soon as possible after installation, but before sealant begins to skin over. Remove all masking materials immediately after tooling.
4. Apply materials only within manufacturer's specified application life period. Discard sealant after application life is expired or if prescribed application period has elapsed.
F. Joints shall have a minimum width to depth ratio of 2:1. Finished joint cross section
shall have an hourglass shape. 3.4 CLEANING
