PART 3    EXECUTION
3.1	EXAMINATION
A.	Film Examination:
1.	If preparation of glass surfaces is the responsibility of another installer, notify Architect in writing of deviations from manufacturer's recommended installation tolerances and conditions.
2.	Glass surfaces receiving new film should first be examined to verify that they are free from defects and imperfections, which will affect the final appearance.
3.	Do not proceed with installation until glass surfaces have been properly prepared and deviations from manufacturer's recommended tolerances are corrected. Prepare surfaces using the methods recommended by the manufacturer for achieving the best result under the project conditions.
4.	Commencement of installation constitutes acceptance of conditions.
B.	Impact Protection Attachment Sealant Examination:
1.	If application of window film is/was the responsibility of another installer, notification in writing shall be made of deviations from manufacturer's recommended installation tolerances and conditions.
2.	Filmed glass surfaces receiving new attachment should first be examined to verify that they are free from defects and imperfections, and that the film edges extend sufficiently to the frame edges.
3.	Do not proceed with installation until film and frame surfaces have been properly prepared and deviations from manufacturer's recommended tolerances are corrected. Prepare surfaces using the methods recommended by the manufacturer for achieving the best result under the project conditions.
4.	Conduct an adhesion test to the frame surface may be conducted by applying a 4 - 6 inch long bead, approximately 0.5 - 1 inch in width, masking one side of the frame surface underneath the strip with tape. Allow the Impact Protection Attachment Sealant to cure for 7 days and test adhesion by pulling up on the masked end and a 90 degree angle. If cohesive failure is observed (adhesive residue left behind on the frame surface), adhesion is acceptable; if adhesive failure is observed (clean peel from the frame), adhesion is unacceptable and product is not recommended.
3.2	PREPARATION
A.	Clean surfaces thoroughly prior to installation.
B.	Prepare surfaces using the methods recommended by the manufacturer for achieving the best result for the substrate under the project conditions.
C.	Refer to Manufacturer's installation instructions for methods of preparation for Impact Protection Attachment Sealant film attachment systems.
3.3	INSTALLATION
A.	Film Installation:
1.	Install in accordance with manufacturer's instructions.
2.	Cut film edges neatly and square at a uniform distance of 1/8 inch (3 mm) to 1/16 inch (1.5 mm) of window sealant. Use new blade tips after 3 to 4 cuts.
3.	Spray the slip solution, composed of one capful of baby shampoo or dishwashing liquid to 1 gallon of water, on window glass and adhesive to facilitate proper positioning of film.
4.	Apply film to glass and lightly spray film with slip solution.
5.	Squeegee from top to bottom of window. Spray slip solution to film and squeegee a second time.
6.	Bump film edge with lint-free towel wrapped around edge of a 5-way tool.
7.	Upon completion of film application, allow 30 days for moisture from film installation to dry thoroughly, and to allow film to dry flat with no moisture dimples when viewed under normal viewing conditions.
B.	Impact Protection Attachment Sealant Installation:
1.	The film attachment system shall be applied according to the specifications of the Manufacturer by an Authorized Dealer/Applicator. Refer to 3M publication, 70-0709-0322-7, 3M Impact Protection Attachment Sealant Attachment System Installation Instructions.
a.	For blast hazard mitigation: minimum 1/2 inch bead overlap on both frame and film (excluding glazing stops or compression gaskets).
b.	For impact resistance and building envelope protection: minimum 3/8 inch bead overlap on both frame and film (excluding glazing stops or compression gaskets).
2.	To ensure a straight and consistent bead width is achieved, masking tape may be applied to film and frame surfaces prior to application.
3.	With prior approval of the building owner or property manager, existing compression gaskets may be partially removed or trimmed to allow for a thinner bead and stronger anchorage. If removing the gaskets, sections shall be trimmed approximately 3 inches in length and inserted with appropriate spacing along all sides of the window to help secure the glazing during application and curing of the Impact Protection Attachment Sealant.
4.	The Impact Protection Attachment Sealant shall be dispensed with a caulk gun with nozzle opening diameter sized to match the approximate size of the desired bead width.
5.	A plastic putty knife or other tool with a clean straight edge shall be used to trowel and smooth out the adhesive. The completed adhesive bead shall be relatively triangular in shape.
6.	Any masking tape used shall be carefully removed within 10 minutes after applying the wet glaze.
3.4	CLEANING AND PROTECTION
A.	Remove left over material and debris from Work area. Use necessary means to protect film before, during, and after installation.
B.	Touch-up, repair or replace damaged products before Substantial Completion.
C.	After application of film, wash film using common window cleaning solutions, including ammonia solutions, 30 days after application. Do not use abrasive type cleaning agents and bristle brushes to avoid scratching film. Use synthetic sponges or soft cloths.
