the work of other trades, with diamond or abrasive saws to produce straight, sharp
edges without spalling or other defects, and of sizes required to maintain uniform
joint widths.

vertical alignment, even though it is a cell adjacent to the vertical wall reinforcing.
B. Keep reinforcing steel straight, except at corners, and where bends or hooks are
specifically indicated on the Drawings.
C. Laps splices in reinforcing steel in accordance with Building Code requirements,

and separate them by one bar diameter or wire them together.

to Building Code requirements, and the Contractor pays all necessary extra
inspection costs.

before grouting. Puddle or vibrate grout thoroughly to eliminate air pockets and
assure bonding with reinforcing steel.
C. Keep vertical cells free of mortar droppings and in vertical alignment to maintain
continuous, unobstructed cells not less than 4” x 4” when coarse grout is used, and
2” x 3” for all other conditions.

that there is a minimum of 1” of grout between the bolts and the side of the
concrete block masonry cell wall.
E. Fill all cells solidly with grout. Stop pours 1-1/2” below the top of a course to form a
mechanical key at pour joints.

3.6. JOINTS AND BONDING
A. Clean concrete bearing surfaces and remove all laitance by steel brushing or
sandblasting to expose the coarse aggregates before laying the first course of
concrete block masonry.
B. Lay concrete block masonry in straight and uniform courses in a running bond
pattern. Lay the starting joint on concrete bearing surfaces with full mortar
coverage, except that area where grout occurs shall be free from mortar so that
grout will contact the bearing surface.
Mortar joints shall be straight, clean and of a uniform width (approximately 3/8”).
C.
Strike joints flush where concrete block masonry will have an elastomeric coating
applied on it; tool all others joints with a rounded jointing tool to produce concave
joints well bonded to the block.
D. Tool joints with a rounded bar when the mortar has partially set but still sufficiently
plastic to bond. Rake out joints which are not tight at the time of tooling, point and
then retool.
E. Horizontal joints shall have full mortar coverage on face shells.
F. Butter head joints well for the full width of the face shell and shove these joints
tightly so that the mortar bonds well to both concrete block.
G. Provide vertical contraction joints at a spacing not to exceed 30 feet on center in all
block masonry walls.
3.7. CLEANING AND PROTECTING
A. Remove mortar and grout stains from concrete block surfaces immediately upon
their discovery. Clean exposed concrete block surfaces with one of the specified
cleaners used in strict accordance with the manufacturer’s printed instructions.
Take all necessary precautions to avoid staining the concrete block and adjacent
surfaces. Cover sills and top course of unfinished work with waterproof coverings
and tie securely in place to prevent its accidental displacement.
B. Dampen (but don’t saturate) the surface of the concrete block masonry with a light
fog spray when the atmosphere is excessively dry and keep it damp for
approximately three days to permit the mortar to thoroughly cure.

Repeat procedure for opposite side.
5. Report whether sealant failed to adhere to joint substrates or tore cohesively.
Include data on pull distance used to test each kind of product and joint substrate.
For sealants that fail adhesively, retest until satisfactory adhesion is obtained.
6. Evaluation of Preconstruction Field-Adhesion-Test Results: Sealants not evidencing

3.1. EXAMINATION
A. Examine substrates and conditions, with Applicator present, for compliance with
requirements for maximum moisture content and other conditions affecting performance
of the Work.
B. Begin coating only when moisture content of substrate is 12 percent or less when
measured with an electronic moisture meter.
C. Begin coating no sooner than 28 days after substrate is constructed and is visually dry
on both sides.
3.2. PREPARATION
A. Comply with manufacturer's written instructions and recommendations in "MPI
Architectural Painting Specification Manual" applicable to substrates and paint systems
indicated.
B. Remove hardware, covers, plates, and similar items already in place that are removable
and are not to be painted. If removal is impractical or impossible because of size or
weight of item, provide surface-applied protection before surface preparation and
painting.
1. After completing painting operations, use workers skilled in the trades involved to
reinstall items that were removed. Remove surface-applied protection if any.
3.3. APPLICATION
A. Apply elastomeric coatings according to manufacturer's written instructions.
1. Use equipment and techniques best suited for substrate and type of material being
applied.
2. Coat surfaces behind movable items the same as similar exposed surfaces.
3. Apply each coat separately according to manufacturer's written instructions.
B. Primers: Apply at a rate to ensure complete coverage.

C. Block Fillers: Apply at a rate to ensure complete coverage with pores filled.
D. Elastomeric Finish Coat(s): Minimum two coats with a total dry film thickness of 0.45
mm. or as per manufacturer's recommended number of coats and total dry film
thickness for condition of substrate.
E. Tint each undercoat a lighter shade to facilitate identification of each coat if multiple
coats of same material are to be applied. Tint undercoats similar to color of topcoat, but
provide sufficient difference in shade of undercoats to distinguish each separate coat.
F. If undercoats or other conditions show through topcoat, apply additional coats until
cured film has a uniform paint finish, color, and appearance.
G. Apply coatings to produce surface films without cloudiness, spotting, holidays, laps,
brush marks, roller tracking, runs, sags, ropiness, or other surface imperfections. Cut in
sharp lines and color breaks.
H. Apply coatings to prepared surfaces as soon as practicable after preparation and before
subsequent surface soiling or deterioration.
I. Spray Application: Use spray equipment for application only when permitted by
authorities having jurisdiction. Wherever spray application is used, do not double back
with spray equipment to build up film thickness of two coats in one pass.

A. Dry Film Thickness Testing: Engage the services of a qualified testing and inspecting
agency to inspect and test paint for dry film thickness.
1. Contractor shall touch up and restore painted surfaces damaged by testing.
2. If test results show that dry film thickness of applied paint does not comply with paint
manufacturer's written recommendations, Contractor shall pay for testing and apply
additional coats as needed to provide dry film thickness that complies with paint
manufacturer's written recommendations.

A. At end of each workday, remove rubbish, empty cans, rags, and other discarded
materials from Project site.
B. After completing paint application, clean spattered surfaces. Remove spattered paints
by washing, scraping, or other methods. Do not scratch or damage adjacent finished
surfaces.
C. Protect work of other trades against damage from paint application. Correct damage to
work of other trades by cleaning, repairing, replacing, and refinishing, as approved by
Architect, and leave in an undamaged condition.
D. At completion of construction activities of other trades, touch up and restore damaged or
defaced painted surfaces.
