1.0% emulsion of Dragnet FT. to meet lermite proofing requirements follow
the procedures in the latest edition of the Housing and Urban Development
Minimum Property Standards (refer to U.S.D.A home and Garden Bulletin No
64).
Horizontal Barriers: create a horizontal barrier wherever treated soil will be

covered, such as footing trenches, slab floors, carports, and the soil beneath
stairs and crawlspaces.
To produce a horizontal insecticide barrier, apply the emulsion at the rate of

1 gallon per 10 square feet to fill soil. If fill is washed gravel or other coarse
material, apply at 1.5 gallons of emulsion per 10 square feet, so that the
emulsion will reach the soil beneath the fill.
Applications shall be made by a low pressure spray (less than 50p.s.i.) using

The joint design, shape and spacing shall be as indicated. The surfaces of
joints to be sealed shall be clean and dry. Oil, tar, grease, dirt, caulk, particles
of mortar, dust, loose rust, loose mill scale and other foreign substances shall
be removed from all joint surfaces to be sealed which would interfere with
bond of sealant or caulking compound Oil or grease shall be removed with
solvent and surfaces shall be wiped with clean cloths.
A. Concrete and Masonry Surfaces. Where surfaces have been treated
with curing compounds, oil, or other such materials, they shall be
removed by sand blasting or wire brushing. Laitance, efflorescence
and loose mortar shall be removed from the joint cavity.
B. Steel surfaces to be in contact with sealant shall be sandblasted or, if
sandblasting would not be practical or would damage adjacent finish
work, the metal shall be scraped and wire brushed to remove loose
mill scale. Protective coatings on steel surfaces shall be removed by
sandblasting or by a solvent that leaves no residue.
C. Aluminium surfaces of windows and door frames in contact with

masking tape is used for a protective cover, the tape and any residual
adhesive shall be removed just prior to applying the sealant Solvents
used to remove protective coatings shall be as recommended by the
manufacturer of the aluminium work and shall be non-staining.
D. Pre-cast Concrete Panel Joints Surface Preparation; Şurface must be
clean, dry and free of foreign matter, oil or grease. Clean joint surface
immediately before installation of sealant. Remove dirt, sand,
laitance, debris, moisture and all other substances that will interfere
with bond of sealant The surface should be free from any unsound or
contaminated material. Repair procedure will follow when needed.
Etch concrete joint surface to remove excess of alkalinity when
manufacturer's instruction required using 5% solution of muriatic acid.
Neutralised with dilute ammonia solution, rinse thoroughly with water
and allow drying before sealant installation.
E. Roughen joint surfaces on vitreous coated and similar non-porous
materials, wherever sealant manufacturer's data indicates lower bond
strength than for porous surfaces. Rub with fine abrasive cloth or wool
to produce a dull sheen
3.03 APPLICATION:
A. After all cleaning operations on the exterior of the building are
completed, rake out all joints between the frames and the masonry walls
to remove all loose mortar materials and thoroughly brush clean to
remove all dust and dirt Where no backstop occurs to receive the caulking
or sealant compound, fill joints with filler material as recommended by
the caulking or sealant manufacturer.
B. Apply caulking or sealant, and primer, in strict accordance with the
printed instructions of the caulking or sealant manufacturer. Apply primer
when and where recommended by the manufacturer.
C. Employ only proven installation techniques which will ensure that
sealants will be deposited in uniform, continuous ribbons without gaps or
air pockets with complete "wetting" of the joint bond surface sequally on
opposite sides. Except as otherwise indicated, fill sealant rabbet to a
slightly concave surface, slightly below adjoining surfaces. Where
horizontal joints are between a horizontal surface and a vertical surface,
fil joint to form a slight cove, so that joint will not trap moisture and dirt.
D. Paper masking tape shall be placed on the finish surface on one or both
sides of a joint cavity to protect adjacent finish surfaces from or
compound smears. Masking tape shall be removed within 10 minutes
after joint has been filled and tooled.
E. Bond-preventive materials shall be installed on the bottom of the joint
cavity and other surfaces indicated to prevent the sealant from adhering
to the surfaces covered by the bond preventive materials. The materials
shall be carefully applied to avoid contamination of adjoining surfaces or
breaking bond with surfaces other than those covered by the bond-
preventive materials. At the option of the Contractor, backstop material
with bondbreaking characteristics may be installed in lieu of bond-
preventive materials specified.
F. Backstops: The back of bottom of joints constructed deeper than
indicated shall be packed tightly with backstop material to provide a joint
of the depth indicated.
G. Spillage. Do not allow sealants or caulking compounds to overflow or spill
onto adjoining surfaces.
H. Provide size and shape backer rod that will control joint depth for sealant
placing. Provide highly compressible backer to minimize possibility of
sealant extrusion when joint is compressed. Place the backer rod, which
will support sealant during application according to the above ratio Do
not puncture the closed cell structure of rod as bubbles could form and
migrate to the surface of sealant. Place the bond breaking tape at the
base of the slot to allow movement to be accommodated over the full
width of the sealant. Extrude the sealant firmly into the joint using gun to
ensure complete contact with the joint sides. The sealant will be
deposited in uniform and continuous ribbons without any gaps or air
pocket. Fill sealant rabbet to slightly concave surface, slightly below
adjoining surfaces. Fill joint to form slight cover, so joint will not trap
moisture and dirt. Do not allow sealant to overflow or spill onto adjoining
surfaces Excess sealant will be dry-wiped from all surfaces while still
uncured Remove tape immediately after filling joint with sealant.
3.04 ADJUSTMENT AND CLEANING:
Clean and free from stains surfaces of all materials adjoining caulked or
sealed joints. Remove excess of caulking or sealant without damage to
adjoining surfaces, in accordance with the caulking or sealant manufacturer's
instructions
