PART 3 EXECUTION
3.1 EXAMINATION
A. Verify that site environmental conditions are appropriate and substrates are in proper condition to receive work of this section.
B. Measure moisture content of surfaces using an electronic moisture meter. Do not begin application of coatings unless moisture content of surfaces is below the following maximum values:
1. Gypsum wallboard: 12 percent.
2. Plaster: 12 percent.
3. Masonry surfaces: 12 percent.
4. Wood surfaces: 15 percent.
5. Concrete surfaces: 16 percent.
3.2 PREPARATION
A. Remove or mask electrical plates, hardware, light fixture trim, and similar fittings prior to beginning painting operations.
B. Correct defects and clean surfaces affecting work of this section. Remove existing coatings that are flaking or otherwise in unacceptable condition to receive paint.
C. Remove mildew from impervious surfaces by scrubbing with solution of trisodium phosphate and bleach. Rinse with clean water and allow substrate to dry.
D. Masonry Surfaces: Remove dirt, loose mortar, scale, salts, alkalies, and other detrimental substances. Remove oils and grease with solution of trisodium phosphate; rinse well and allow to dry.
1. Verify masonry joints are struck flush.
E. Concrete: Remove dirt and grease, acid etch, and rinse with clear water.
F. Plaster and Drywall: Fill hairline cracks, small holes, and imperfections with patching compound, then smooth patches to match adjacent surfaces.
G. Wood: Remove dirt and foreign matter. Patch knots, pitch pockets, and other surface imperfections with patching compound and seal with sealer recommended by special coatings manufacturer.
H. Galvanized Metal Surfaces: Remove oils and wash with solvent.
3.3 APPLICATION
A. Apply special coatings in accordance with manufacturer's printed instructions. Do not apply coatings to surfaces that are not dry.
B. Apply each coat to uniform thickness and finish, with each coat slightly darker than preceding coat. Allow each coat to dry thoroughly before applying next coat.
3.4 CLEANING AND PROTECTION
A. Keep project premises free of debris related to special coatings. Collect material that may constitute a fire hazard, place in closed metal containers, and remove daily from site.
B. Protect work adjacent to special coatings operations from spatters and spills. Immediately remove special coating that falls on finished surfaces not scheduled to receive it, using materials and techniques that will not damage affected surfaces.
3.5 SCHEDULE
NOTE ** Select substrates, finishes and product type required for Project; delete others. If more than one finish or coating is required for a particular substrate, be sure to identify where each is to be used, either in the specification or on the drawings.
