          A.Modified Bitumen Roof Surface Preparation: Surfaces to be prepared as a substrate for the roof repair system as follows:
          1.Any necessary repairs or replacement of deck and/or insulation must be completed.
          2.High-pressure rinse the roof with clean water using a minimum 2,000-psi pressure washer keeping the tip within 12 inches of the surface to remove dust, dirt, loose coatings, and foreign matter.
          3.Probe roof laps and penetrations to identify any points of water entry.
          4.Any repairs to the membrane, flashings, penetrations, etc., as determined through inspection, must be completed before coating is applied. Note: If a structurally sound, well-sealed and watertight membrane is not in place, the roof is not acceptable to receive the coating system.
          1)Tighten or re-secure all terminations and assure all terminations and assure all termination bars and reglets are properly caulked.
          2)Repair loose, open seams, holes, and splits with UT-40 Universal Tape.
          3)Seal and reinforce areas around penetrations including vents, stacks, fans as well as curbs and drains, using UT-40 Universal Tape.
          4)Perimeter metal drip edges must be secure and reinforced with UT-40 Universal Tape.
          5)In low lying areas, around drains or other areas where potential water accumulation is possible, apply UT-40 Universal Tape over entire area and 24 inches minimum around drains.
          6)Seal heavily "alligatored" areas with Liquid Flashing. Strike smooth to provide an even surface.
          ** NOTE TO SPECIFIER ** Select the following two paragraphs for Metal Roof Preparation only. Delete if not applicable.
 
          B.Metal Roof Surface Preparation: Surfaces to be prepared as a substrate for the roof repair system as follows:
          1.Reattach loose metal or excessive gaps with new self-drilling, fasteners with self-sealing washers.
          2.Replace missing and tighten all exposed fasteners. Replace stripped fasteners with oversized of similar design as original.
          3.Replace damaged, dried, cracked or missing foam closures with either pre-formed closures matching panel profile or field install spray urethane foam, cut and formed to profile at gutter/roof panel overhang.
          4.Foam each high rib void at end panel where they overhang gutters.
          5.Seal all closures with RG-110 Flashing Compound to metal.
          6.Pressure wash roof surface with water using a minimum working pressure of 2,000 psi to remove all dirt, dust, and waste products including, but not limited to oil, rust, scale, chalkiness and unstable portions of existing coating, white rust, solvent, grease, animal fats, etc.
 
          C.Metal Roof Repairs: Surfaces and associated elements to be prepared as a substrate for the roof repair system as follows:
          1.Any metal that is rusted through shall be replaced in kind.
          2.Rust Treatment: Scaling rust shall be wire brushed or sanded until smooth, cleaned and treated with the appropriate RG-100 Rust Inhibiting Primer and allowed to completely dry.
          3.Fastener Sealing: Encapsulate each fastener with 1" diameter (2.5 cm) cap of RG-110. Allow to dry prior to applying reflective coating.
          4.Seam, Laps and Skylight Sealing:
          a.For vertical seams under 1/8 inch wide, use RG-110 Flashing Compound "flow coat" via bulk pump or spray rig without tip, with a 1/2 inch bead up-slope of lap. Brush Flashing Compound overlap, bridging both sides equally; or apply UT-40 Universal Tape to all vertical seams. Horizontal seams, penetrations, ridge and rake conditions apply RG-110 Flashing Compound in a traditional 3 course method using a non-coated polyester fabric, ensuring that the fabric is fully coated and embedded into the flashing compound; or use UT-40 Universal Tape.
          5.Gutters, Scuppers, Vents and Roof Drains:
          a.All gutters, scuppers, and roof drains shall be cleaned, repaired or replaced and securely attached to structure. Coat inside of gutters that are rusted with appropriate Roof Guardian Technologies Primer after joints are cleaned and sealed with a polyether sealant, such as GreatSeal PE-150 or GreatSeal LF-500.
          ** NOTE TO SPECIFIER ** Select the following paragraphs for Single Ply Roof Preparation only. Delete if not applicable.

          2.Prepare the membrane and flashings for coating by applying the RG-500 Bond-It Wash Primer.
          a.Apply at a rate of 400-500 sq. ft./gal. A 2-3 gallon agricultural tank pressure sprayer is recommended to apply the Wash Primer. Adjust the nozzle to achieve a uniform spray pattern with a 3-4 foot arc. NOTE: Do not apply Wash Primer with conventional airless spray equipment as product may damage metal parts.
          b.Allow the wash primer to stand 10-15 minutes to wet out and react with Single-ply surface. Effectiveness of Wash Primer will not be sacrificed if it is allowed to sit longer than 15 minutes or if it is allowed to dry on the roof.
          3.High-pressure rinse the roof with clean water using a minimum 2,000-psi pressure washer keeping the tip within 12 inches of the surface. Bond-It Wash Primer, in its diluted form, is safe to rinse down drains. A squeegee is recommended to push excess water to the drains and accelerate drying.
          a.After cleaning, EPDM roof should be "jet black" in color indicating proper chemical reaction has occurred. If appearance is dull and weathered, reapply Bond-It Wash Primer.
          b.Single-ply membranes should be clean and chalk free. Surfaces must be completely dry before coating application.
          4.Any repairs to the membrane, flashings, penetrations, etc., as determined through inspection, must be completed before coating is applied. Note: If a structurally sound, well-sealed and watertight membrane is not in place, the roof is not acceptable to receive the coating system.
          a.Tighten or re-secure all terminations and assure all terminations and assure all termination bars and reglets are properly caulked.
          b.On mechanically fastened and fully adhered systems, replace backed out fasteners with new stress plates and fasteners. Relocate new fasteners adjacent to original location.
          c.Repair loose, open seams, holes, and splits with compatible single-ply repair material.

          3.3ROOF COATING APPLICATION
 
          A.General Applications Methods
          1.Primer Application Method
          a.Airless spray equipment - Use only Graco HD series spray tips. Do not paint tips with the atomizer bar as these can lead to pinholes and voids in the cured coating. Tip size depends on speed and substrate being sprayed. On pitched roofs use 6-27 thru 6-31HD tips to control running and sagging. On flat or porous surfaces 6-31 thru 6-34HD tips are acceptable.
          b.If applying with brush or roller, utilize soft brushes or standard medium or coarse nap rollers. Do not over work when rolling or brushing surface.
          c.Use a wet mil gauge to ensure proper coating thickness.
          d.Apply Coating as soon as the primer is dry as uncoated primer will dry tacky and pick up dust, dirt and debris. Keep the time between applying the Finish Coat to the dry primer to a minimum.
          2.Coating Application Method
          a.Airless spray equipment - Rig sized to provide air pressure of 2,000 psi at the tip. Tip size of .31 to .35 and a hose size between 3/8 inch and 1/2 inch.
          b.If applying with brush or roller, utilize soft brushes or standard medium or coarse nap rollers.
          c.Use a wet mil gauge to ensure proper coating thickness.
          d.When applying coatings and primers to rough and weathered surfaces, add additional product to smooth the surface and assure adequate cover.
