This shall be done by extending the roof membrane up the backside of the wall under a metal cap on the parapet wall or application of flexible waterproofing membrane. Raked mortar joints disqualify a project for a 5-Year Warranty. Zinsser requires that light-weight block (as defined by ASTM C-90-96) shall contain an integral water repellent to be eligible for a 5-Year Warranty. Construction shall include waterproofing of parapet caps, preferably with metal flashing, as well as the backside of all parapet walls.

          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.
 
          3.2PREPARATION
 
          A.Clean substrate of substances that might interfere with penetration or performance of water repellents. Remove all dust, dirt, paint, bitumen, efflorescence, oil, pollution deposits, and curing, forming, and parting compounds, other contaminants prior to application. Use abrasive brush blast or high pressure water as necessary to achieve the required surface condition.
 
          B.Allow power washed surfaces to dry three days prior to coating. Surface shall be dry to touch and show no visible signs of moisture prior to application of water repellent.
 
          C.Protect adjoining work, including sealant bond surfaces, from spillage or over spray of water repellent. Cover adjoining and nearby surfaces of aluminum and glass if there is the possibility of water repellent being deposited on surfaces.
 
          D.Coordination with Sealants: Do not apply water repellent until sealants for joints adjacent to surfaces receiving water repellent treatment have been installed and cured.
 
          E.Water repellent work may precede sealant application only if sealant adhesion and compatibility have been tested and verified using substrate, water repellent, and sealant materials identical to those used in the work.
 
          3.3APPLICATION
 
          A.Apply a heavy saturation spray coating of water repellent on surfaces indicated for treatment using pressure spray equipment. Comply with manufacturer's written instructions for using airless spraying procedure, unless otherwise directed.
 
          B.Follow application method and rate established by Test Area. Apply a second saturation spray coating, if required, repeating first application. Comply with manufacturers written instructions for limitations on drying time between coats. Consult manufacturer's technical representative if written instructions are not applicable to project conditions.
 
          3.4FIELD QUALITY CONTROL
