2. Test Method: Test joint sealants according to Method A, Field -Applied Sealant Joint Hand Pull <br />Tab in Appendix XI in ASTM C 1193, as appropriate for type of joint -sealant application <br />indicated. <br />a. For joints with dissimilar substrates, verify adhesion to each substrate separately; do this by <br />extending cut along one side, verifying adhesion to opposite side. Repeat procedure for <br />opposite side. <br />3. Inspect joints for complete fill, for absence of voids, and for joint configuration complying with <br />specified requirements. Record results in a field -adhesion -test log. <br />4. Inspect tested joints and report on the following: <br />a. Whether sealants in joints connected to pulled -out portion failed to adhere to joint <br />substrates or tore cohesively. Include data on pull distance used to test each type of <br />product and joint substrate. Compare these results to determine if adhesion passes sealant <br />manufacturer's field -adhesion hand -pull test criteria. <br />b. Whether sealants filled joint cavities and are free of voids. <br />C, Whether sealant dimensions and configurations comply with specified requirements. <br />5. Record test results in a field -adhesion -test log. Include dates when sealants were installed, names <br />of persons who installed sealants, test dates, test locations, whether joints were primed, adhesion <br />results and percent elongations, sealant fill, sealant configuration, and sealant dimensions. <br />6. Repair sealants pulled from test area by applying new sealants following same procedures used <br />originally to seal joints. Ensure that original sealant surfaces are clean and that new sealant <br />contacts original sealant. <br />B. Evaluation of Field Test Results: Sealants not evidencing adhesive failure from testing or noncompliance <br />with other indicated requirements will be considered satisfactory. Remove sealants that fail to adhere to <br />joint substrates during testing or to comply with other requirements. Retest failed applications until test <br />results prove sealants comply with indicated requirements. <br />3.5 CLEANING <br />A. Clean off excess sealant or sealant smears adjacent to joints as the Work progresses by methods and with <br />cleaning materials approved in writing by manufacturers of joint sealants and of products in which joints <br />occur. <br />3.6 PROTECTION <br />A. Protect joint sealants during and after curing period from contact with contaminating substances and from <br />damage resulting from construction operations or other causes so sealants are without deterioration or <br />damage at time of Substantial Completion. If, despite such protection, damage or deterioration occurs, <br />cut out and remove damaged or deteriorated joint sealants immediately so installations with repaired <br />areas are indistinguishable from original work. <br />END OF SECTION 07920 <br />Wabasso Beach Park <br />a Indian River County <br />Lo DAA Project No. 6008 <br />07920-7 <br />
