DocuSign Envelope ID: 313DA256 -1EDE- 4396- A716- 4C53B809027E <br />JERRY M. PASSMORE CENTER ADDITION AND RENOVATION <br />HILLSBOROUGH, NORTH CAROLINA <br />G. Center glass liter in openings on setting blocks and press firmly against tape by inserting dense <br />compression gaskets formed and installed to lock in place against faces of removable stops. <br />Start gasket applications at corners and work toward centers of openings. <br />H. Apply cap bead of elastomeric sealant over exposed edge of tape. <br />3.5 GASKET GLAZING (DRY) <br />A. Fabricate compression gaskets in lengths recommended by gasket manufacturer to fit openings <br />exactly, with allowance for stretch during installation. <br />B. Insert soft compression gasket between glass and frame or fixed stop so it is securely in place <br />with joints miter cut and bonded together at corners. <br />C. Center glass lites in openings on setting blocks and press firmly against soft compression gasket <br />by inserting dense compression gaskets formed and installed to lock in place against faces of <br />removable stops. Start gasket applications at corners and work toward centers of openings. <br />Compress gaskets to produce a weathertight seal without developing bending stresses in glass. <br />Seal gasket joints with sealant recommended by gasket manufacturer. <br />D. Install gaskets so they protrude past face of glazing stops. <br />3.6 SEALANT GLAZING (WET) <br />A. Install continuous spacers, or spacers combined with cylindrical sealant backing, between glass <br />lites and glazing stops to maintain glass face clearances and to prevent sealant from extruding <br />into glass channel and blocking weep systems until sealants cure. Secure spacers or spacers and <br />backings in place and in position to control depth of installed sealant relative to edge clearance <br />for optimum sealant performance. <br />B. Force sealants into glazing channels to eliminate voids and to ensure complete wetting or bond <br />of sealant to glass and channel surfaces. <br />C. Tool exposed surfaces of sealants to provide a substantial wash away from glass. <br />3.7 LOCK -STRIP GASKET GLAZING <br />A. Comply with ASTM C 716 and gasket manufacturer's written instructions. Provide <br />supplementary wet seal and weep system, unless otherwise indicated. <br />3.8 CLEANING AND PROTECTION <br />A. Protect exterior glass from damage immediately after installation by attaching crossed streamers <br />to framing held away from glass. Do not apply markers to glass surface. Remove <br />nonpermanent labels, and clean surfaces. <br />GLAZING 088000- 13 <br />
