		A.	Prepare joints in accordance with manufacturer's instructions.
		B.	Ensure joint thickness is as indicated on the drawings.
		C.	Remove dirt, dust, oil, grease, rust, loose materials, contaminants, and existing sealants from surfaces that contact sealants.
		D.	Clean surfaces within 1 to 2 hours before applying sealants.
	** NOTE TO SPECIFIER ** Delete if not required.
	3.3	APPLICATION - STRUCTURAL GLAZING ADHESIVES/SEALANTS
		A.	Apply sealants in accordance with manufacturer's instructions at locations indicated on the drawings.
		B.	All materials to receive structural adhesive/sealant shall be tested and approved by Momentive Performance Materials - GE Exclusive Licensee Sealants & Adhesives on a project-by-project basis.
		C.	Ensure surfaces to receive sealants are clean, sound, dry, and free of frost.
		D.	Use manufacturer's approved back-up materials, spacers, and setting blocks to ensure sealant compatibility and function.
		E.	Priming:
			1.	Apply primer, if required, in accordance with manufacturer's instructions.
			2.	Perform trial applications to check adhesion of sealants to specific materials to be used.
			3.	Do not apply primer to glass surfaces.
			4.	Allow primer to dry before applying sealant.
		F.	Masking:
			1.	Mask exterior face of joint where necessary with pressure-sensitive tape before applying sealant. Start from top down and overlap runs.
			2.	Do not allow tape to touch clean surfaces to which sealants are to adhere.
			3.	Remove tape immediately after tooling and before sealants begin to cure.
		G.	Protection: Cover all surfaces likely to receive excess sealant removed during tooling operations.
		H.	Ensure contact width of sealant between glass and metal frame is as indicated on the drawings.
		I.	Install backup material or joint filler, setting blocks, spacer shims, and tapes as required.
		J.	Apply sealants in a uniform continuous operation, horizontally in 1 direction and vertically from bottom to top of joint opening. Apply positive pressure adequate to properly fill and seal joint. Air pockets or voids are not acceptable.
		K.	Immediately tool joint neatly, forcing sealant into contact with sides of joint to eliminate internal voids and to assure good substrate contact. Do not tool with soap or detergent solutions.
		L.	Tool sealants at sill in glazing so precipitation and cleaning solutions will not pool.
	** NOTE TO SPECIFIER ** Delete if not required.
	3.4	APPLICATION - GENERAL GLAZING SEALANTS
		A.	Apply sealants in accordance with manufacturer's instructions at locations indicated on the drawings.
		B.	Ensure surfaces to receive sealants are clean, sound, dry, and free of frost.
		C.	Use manufacturers approved back-up materials, spacers, and setting blocks to ensure sealant compatibility and function.
		D.	Priming:
			1.	Perform trial applications to check adhesion of sealants to specific materials to be used.
			2.	Apply primer in accordance with manufacturer's instructions to specific materials as required for proper adhesion of sealants.
		E.	Masking:
			1.	Apply masking tape to surfaces as required to ensure a neat application of sealants and to protect adjoining surfaces.
			2.	Do not allow masking tape to touch clean surfaces to which sealants are to adhere.
			3.	Remove masking tape immediately after tooling and before sealants begin to cure.
		F.	Install backer rod in joint to allow for appropriate depth of sealants and to prevent 3-sided adhesion.
		G.	Install bond breaker tape when joint depth is too shallow to allow backer rod.
	** NOTE TO SPECIFIER ** A thin bead of sealant will accommodate more movement than a thick bead. If a bead is too thin, it will not have adequate adhesion to the joint due to low stress at the bond line. If a bead is too thick, the movement of the joint will be inhibited due to high stress at the bond line. Also, if a bead is too thick, excessive surface stretch may tear the sealant. Consult Momentive Performance Materials - GE Exclusive Licensee Sealants & Adhesives for additional information.
		H.	Apply sealant depth of 1/8 inch minimum to 3/8 inch maximum over crown of backer rod.
		I.	Install backup material or joint filler, setting blocks, spacer shims, and tapes as required.
		J.	Apply sealants in a uniform continuous operation, horizontally in 1 direction and vertically from bottom to top of joint opening. Apply positive pressure adequate to properly fill and seal joint width.
		K.	Tool and/or strike sealants with appropriate tool applying light pressure to spread sealants against backup material and joint surfaces to ensure void-free application.
		L.	Tool sealants at sill in glazing so precipitation and cleaning solutions will not pool.
	** NOTE TO SPECIFIER ** Delete if not required.
