Apply masking tape to each side of joint, outside of area to be covered by sealant system. <br /> 2. Apply silicone sealant to each side of joint to produce a bead of size complying with <br /> preformed silicone-sealant system manufacturer's written instructions and covering a <br /> bonding area of not less than 3/8 inch (10 mm). Hold edge of sealant bead 1/4 inch (6 <br /> mm) inside masking tape. <br /> 3. Within 10 minutes of sealant application, press silicone extrusion into sealant to wet <br /> extrusion and substrate. Use a roller to apply consistent pressure and ensure uniform <br /> contact between sealant and both extrusion and substrate. <br /> 4. Complete installation of sealant system in horizontal joints before installing in vertical <br /> joints. Lap vertical joints over horizontal joints. At ends of joints, cut silicone extrusion <br /> with a razor knife. <br /> H. Installation of Preformed Foam Sealants: Install each length of sealant immediately after <br /> removing protective wrapping. Do not pull or stretch material. Produce seal continuity at ends, <br /> turns, and intersections of joints. For applications at low ambient temperatures, apply heat to <br /> sealant in compliance with sealant manufacturer's written instructions. <br /> I. Acoustical Sealant Installation: At sound-rated assemblies and elsewhere as indicated, seal <br /> construction at perimeters, behind control joints, and at openings and penetrations with a <br /> continuous bead of acoustical sealant. Install acoustical sealant at both faces of partitions at <br /> perimeters and through penetrations. Comply with ASTM C 919 and with manufacturer's <br /> written recommendations. <br /> 3.4 FIELD QUALITY CONTROL <br /> A. Field-Adhesion Testing: Field test joint-sealant adhesion to joint substrates as follows: <br /> 1. Extent of Testing: Test completed and cured sealant joints as follows: <br /> a. Perform 10 tests for the first 1000 feet (300 m) of joint length for each kind of <br /> sealant and joint substrate. <br /> b. Perform 1 test for each 1000 feet (300 m) of joint length thereafter or 1 test per <br /> each floor per elevation. <br /> 2. Test Method: Test joint sealants according to Method A, Field-Applied Sealant Joint <br /> Hand Pull Tab, in Appendix X1 in ASTM C 1193 or Method A, Tail Procedure, in <br /> ASTM C 1521. <br /> a. For joints with dissimilar substrates, verify adhesion to each substrate separately; <br /> extend cut along one side, verifying adhesion to opposite side. Repeat procedure <br /> for opposite side. <br /> 3. Inspect tested joints and report on the following: <br /> a. Whether sealants filled joint cavities and are free of voids. <br /> b. Whether sealant dimensions and configurations comply with specified <br /> requirements. <br /> C. Whether sealants in joints connected to pulled-out portion failed to adhere to joint <br /> substrates or tore cohesively. Include data on pull distance used to test each kind <br /> JOINT SEALANTS 079200 - 12 <br />
