          PART 3EXECUTION
 
          3.1EXAMINATION
 
          A.Do not begin installation until substrates have been properly prepared.
 
          B.If substrate preparation is the responsibility of another installer, notify Architect of unsatisfactory preparation before proceeding.
 
          3.2SURFACE PREPARATION
 
          A.Bare Concrete: Concrete must have cured for a minimum of 30 days before application. Etch the surface with a concrete etching solution to allow for proper penetration and adhesion. After etching, rinse the surface thoroughly and let dry. If muratic acid is used, it must be neutralized before proceeding. Test surface for immediate water penetration before proceeding.
 
          B.Previously sealed, stained or painted concrete: Remove loose or peeling paint and degloss surface by sanding with 150-200 grit paper. Follow with a general cleaning. Rinse thoroughly and let dry. The surface should then be coated with a clear acrylic, bonding-primer.
 
          3.3APPLICATION
 
          A.Apply only when air and surface temperatures are between 55 and 90 degrees F (13 and 32 degrees C). If more than one gallon is used, intermix all product to ensure color uniformity; stir well. Apply a very thin coat as follows:
          ** NOTE TO SPECIFIER ** Select the paragraph(s) required from the following. Delete those not required.
          1.Use a 1/4 inch (6 mm) nap roller for smooth troweled surface.
          2.Use a 3/8 inch (9.5 mm) nap roller for broom-finish surface.
          3.Use a 1/2 inch (12.5 mm) nap roller for rough or textured surface) or nylon-polyester brush.
 
          B.Paint may be diluted with one pint of water per gallon to improve penetration of the first coat. Wait four to six hours (additional dry time is needed in lower temperatures or when relative humidity is more than 50 percent).
 
          C.Apply second coat full strength in a direction perpendicular to the first.
 
          D.Dry time: Dry to touch two hours at 77 degrees F (25 degrees C), 50 percent relative humidity. Dry to light foot traffic in twenty four hours, heavy foot traffic in seventy two hours. Allow a minimum of five days before subjecting to automotive traffic. Premature traffic could cause paint to lift.
 
          3.4CLEAN-UP AND STORAGE
 
          A.Clean tools with soap and water.
 
          B.Contact local refuse collection agency for disposal of empty containers and unused paint. Do not flush to sanitary sewer or waterway.
 
          C.Wait thirty days before rinsing or cleaning surface. To avoid premature paint failure, do not use abrasive cleaners, rotating tip devices or pressure-washers on surface.
 
          3.5PROTECTION
 
          A.Protect installed products until completion of project.
 
          B.Touch-up, repair or replace damaged surfaces before Substantial Completion.
