          D.Responsibility for state of surfaces prior to installation to be pre-determined by installation specialist.
 
          E.Scheduling of installation by Owner or its representative implies that substrate and conditions are prepared and ready for product installation per the recommendations of the installation specialist.
 
          F.Proceeding with installation implies installer's acceptance of substrate and conditions.
 
          3.2SURFACE PREPARATION
 
          A.Comply with manufacturers' instructions for surface preparation. Consider these factors in determining the suitability of the Product:
          1.Substrate texture affects Product adhesion and application ease.
          a.Unless the substrate is very smooth, its texture may be visible through product.
          b.Compounds used to smooth a textured substrate permanently change that substrate.
          c.Product removal may damage the substrate or its finish.
          2.Application surface conditions affect product adhesion.
          a.Ensure that the existing paint, surface finish, or wall covering has excellent bond to the substrate area where product will be applied.
          b.Repair, prime and paint the substrate, as needed.
          c.An adhesion promoter may be required to increase product adhesion.
          3.Human and environmental conditions affect product.
          a.Temperature and humidity in recommended range.
          b.Direct UV light (sunlight).
          c.Heating or cooling ducts in close proximity.
          d.Unsealed substrates in front of water sources.
          e.People or equipment that will be in contact with the product.
          4.The product may contain a splice. The location of the splices is marked with a tab along the edge of the product. The installer will need to determine the impact of the splice and work around it to make the best use of the material layout.
 
          B.Test and prepare application surfaces per instructions in the 3M DI-NOC Installation Guide.
          1.Use the 3M Wall Adhesion Test to determine the compatibility of the application surface with the Product.
          2.Use the 3M Enhanced Cleaning Method to ensure that the application surface is ready to receive and hold the product.
 
          C.Repair damaged application surfaces per instructions in the 3M DI-NOC Installation Guide
 
          D.Re-clean application surfaces with a lint-free cloth and 70/30 IPA cleaning solution, or use the 3M Enhanced Cleaning Method in the 3M DI-NOC Installation Guide.
 
          3.3APPLICATION
 
          A.Refer to the 3M DI-NOC Installation Guide for specific application instructions.
 
          B.Application must be performed by a qualified installer. Refer to 3M.com/AMD for a list of 3M-endorsed installers.
 
          C.Do not proceed with installation until all finishing work has been completed in and around the work area.
 
          D.Measure the application surface and cut film to size with a minimum 1/2 in. extra on all sides for trimming.
 
          E.Install on application surfaces with no gaps, wire seams, or overlaps. Form smooth, wrinkle-free, bubble-free surface for finished installation.
 
          F.No exposed joints on corners or other "open" type joints permitted.
 
          G.Verify pattern prior to material acquisition as some part numbers do not allow three-dimensional forming.

          I.Apply 3M DI-NOC over properly prepared substrates.
 
          J.Remove air bubbles, wrinkles, and blisters. Use approved procedures to prevent the formation of air bubbles, wrinkles, blisters and other defects.
 
          3.4SCHEDULE
          ** NOTE TO SPECIFIER ** When more than one pattern of 3M DI-NOC is specified, it is necessary to identify where each pattern will be used. A schedule may be useful for that purpose, if the patterns are not to be indicated on the drawing. The following is a suggested format for such a schedule, with an example. Delete if not required.
