interfere with bond, and clean cracks with oil-free compressed air or low-pressure water

to remove loose particles.

mm, whichever is less.

f. Inject epoxy adhesive, beginning at widest part of crack and working toward narrower

parts. Inject adhesive into ports to refusal, capping adjacent ports when they extrude

epoxy. Cap injection ports and inject through adjacent ports until crack is filled.

g. After epoxy adhesive has set, remove injection ports and grind surfaces smooth.

6.2 Emulsion Painting Of Walls, Slab Soffits, Columns, Beams and Masonry Surfaces.

a. Preparation: Practice standard recommendations in regard to preparation of surfaces to

receive paint and application of paint itself. Procedures shall include, but not necessarily

be limited to, the following:

b. Cleaning - Pressure wash all external masonry surface to remove all loose or peeled paint,

provide satisfactory adhesion for subsequent paint coats. Apply the appropriate sealers,

primers, and base coats on all bare substrates if required.

d. Filling - Fill cracks and holes with fillers, sealers or grouting cements as appropriate for

the finishing system and substrate, and sand smooth, to ensure all coats finish smooth.

e. Drying - Unless otherwise specified, ensure that surfaces are cured before applying

additional coats of paint.

marks appear on doors, wood frames, or concrete floor. Place painting canvas and tarps

to prevent drip marks or spills onto floors.

g. Wet Paint Warning - Place notices and do not remove until paint is dry.
