B. Exterior sheathing panels: Ensure that the boards are sufficiently stabilized with corners

and edges fastened with appropriate screws. Pre-treat all board joints with 50 - 75mm (2-

3 in.) wide, reinforced self-adhesive tape or fiberglass mesh style wallboard tape. Gaps

greater than 6mm (1/4 in.) should be filled with mastic or caulk, allowing sufficient time

to fully cure before application of the tape and fluid applied membrane.

material manufacturer.

4. Carry membrane into any openings a minimum of 50mm (2 in.).

5. Seal all brick-ties and other penetrations as work progresses.

C. Application of Transition Membrane

1. After allowing the Fluid Applied Membrane to cure to tack-free, apply transition

membrane with a minimum overlap of 75mm (3 in.) onto each surface at all

beams, columns and joints as indicated in detail drawings.

2. Tie in to window and door frames, spandrel panels, roof and floor intersections

and changes in substrate.

3. Use pre-cut, easily handled lengths for each location.

4. Remove silicone-coated release paper and position membrane flashing carefully

before placing it against the surface.

5. When properly positioned, place against surface by pressing firmly into place by

hand roller.

6. Overlap adjacent pieces 50 mm ( 2 in.) and roll all seams with a hand roller.

7. Seal top edge of flashing with termination mastic.

8. When transition flashing is pre-installed prior to application of Fluid Applied

Membrane, apply transition flashing as above. Spray or trowel a continuous

uniform film of Fluid Membrane at min. 60 mils (1.5 mm or .060 in.) dry film

thickness using multiple, overlapping passes, with a minimum overlap of 75 mm

(3 in.) onto transition flashing. For sill condition, spray or trowel Fluid

Membrane onto pre-installed sill flashing and onto horizontal section of sill.

D. Application of Flexible Membrane Wall Flashing

hand roller. Fully adhere flashing to substrate to prevent water from migrating

under flashing.

4. Overlap adjacent pieces 50 mm (2 in.) and roll all seams with a hand roller.

5. Trim bottom edge 13 mm (1/2 in.) back from exposed face of the wall. Flashing

shall not be permanently exposed to sunlight.

6. At heads, sills and all flashing terminations, turn up ends a minimum of 50 mm

(2 in.) and make careful folds to form an end dam, with the seams sealed.

7. Seal top edge of flashing with termination mastic.

8. Do not allow the rubberized asphalt surface of the flashing membrane to come in

contact with poly-sulfide sealants, creosote, uncured coal tar products or EPDM.

9. Installation shall be inspected to verify material and installation procedures are in

accordance with Construction Documents, submittals and manufacturer's

requirements and are such so as to provide warranty as specified. Inspections at a

minimum shall occur at the following intervals:

a. Immediately prior to installation of waterproofing to verify acceptability of

substrate.

b. During installation of waterproofing to verify acceptability of materials and

application procedures.

c. Immediately prior to backfill to verify acceptability of waterproofing prior
