<br />H. Substrate Inspection: The Subcontractor furnishing and installing sealants and caulking
<br />shall examine all areas, surfaces and conditions under which the application is to take
<br />place to determine the acceptability of same. Verify that the work of other trades is
<br />complete to the point where this installation may properly commence; also verify that
<br />sealants and caulking materials may be installed in accordance with the Drawings, the
<br />Specifications, the manufacturer's written recommendations, and all pertinent codes and
<br />regulations. Surfaces shall be thoroughly dry, clean and free of dirt, dust, debris, grease,

<br />acceptance of substrates and conditions.
<br />J. Substrate Preparation: Clean all surfaces and substrates where sealants and caulking
<br />are to be applied, by means of scraping, wire brushing, sanding or other methods as
<br />appropriate to the materials. Remove protective coatings and films that may be covering
<br />fabricated sheet metal surfaces. During surface preparation, care should be taken to
<br />prevent damage and staining to adjoining surfaces that are intended to remain exposed.
<br />K. Caulking Application: Install sealant at all control joints, expansion joints, seams in metal
<br />flashings, gaps in exterior siding materials, at exterior door and window openings and
<br />where plumbing fixtures are set against finish surfaces. Fill all voids, run bead smooth,
<br />free of sags with sufficient force to ensure complete bond with adjoining surfaces. Tool
<br />joints to slight concave surface. Use masking tape where required to protect adjoining
<br />surfaces from staining or soiling and where a neat straight joint is required. Remove
<br />protective tape after joint has been filled, caulked and tooled. DO NOT caulk under
<br />weather conditions potentially harmful to the set and curing of the caulking material,
<br />except where materials are specifically manufactured for use in adverse weather.
<br />L. Cleanup: Remove excess material and immediately clean adjacent surfaces which may
<br />have been soiled or smeared. Repair and correct defects in work due to faulty materials,
<br />methods or workmanship.
