3.2 Protection
A. Protect surrounding areas, landscaping, building occupants, pedestrians, vehicles, and non masonry surfaces not designated for protection during the Work from graffiti resistant coatings, masonry or concrete cleaners if used, residues, rinse water, fumes, wastes, and effluents in accordance with manufacturer’s written specifications.

B. Cover finished work and materials of all other trades that may be affected by work of the Section during coating application. Protect all surrounding adjacent areas from overspray.

C. Divert and protect pedestrian and vehicle traffic.

3.3 Surface Preparation
A. General: Perform preparation and cleaning procedures in accordance with coating manufacturer’s instruction and as herein specified for each particular substrate condition.

1. Clean surfaces to be painted before applying coating or surface treatments.

Remove oil, grease, and other surface contaminants prior to mechanical cleaning. Program cleaning and painting so that contaminants from the cleaning process will not fall onto wet, newly surfaces.

B. Repair, patch, and fill all cracks, voids, defects, and damaged areas in surface as approved by Construction Manager. Allow repair materials to cure completely before application of graffiti resistant coatings.

C. Apply compatible sealant and caulking and allow to cure completely before application of graffiti resistance coating.

D. Seal all open joints
E. Apply new construction substrates to properly cure before graffiti control.

F. Properly clean the new substrates as specified in manufacturer’s technical data.

3.4 Application of Graffiti Control Coating
A. General: Apply sealer and graffiti resistant coating in accordance with manufacturer’s directions. Review material safety data sheets prior to use of material. Use application techniques best suited for substrate and type of material to be applied.

B. Applicator must know the substrate that is to be coated and understand the porosity, texture, and general conditions that will be present during the application to provide a correct bid and choose correct product acquisition.

C. Anti-graffiti coating must be reducible with clean, fresh water at a rate of 5%-20% depending on applications.

Court Improvements
Hermosa Beach, California
ANTI-GRAFFITI COATING 099623 - 7
D. Do not mix two-component coating at any other rate than the ratio supplied by manufacturer.

E. Applicator must use caution when spraying materials. Applicator should wear OSHA approved respirator with organic vapor cartridge. Avoid over-spray and spillage. Mark all windows, move vehicles, cover air intakes, cover vegetation, and warn pedestrians prior to spraying. Applicator must make sure there is proper ventilation.

F. Do not apply in windy conditions.

G. Applicator shall do a test sample prior to application to confirm aesthetics, compatibility and coverage. Project Coordinator, architect and the construction manager must indicate acceptance of the test sample and sign off prior to full application.

H. Apply material between 50 degrees and 90 degrees Fahrenheit with a relative humidity not to exceed 80%.

3.5 Application Rates
A. Use Okon PLGR-5 CMU Water Repellant sealer to achieve a proper profile for a pinhole free, continuous coating. Allow sealer to cure based on product manufacturer’s direction.

B. Allow approximately 6-8 hours, or until tack free, dry time between each coat of GCR 3 Clear Top Coat. Full cure of material is approximately 3-5 days.

C. Temperature and humidity will affect and cure time of graffiti control coating.

D. Typically apply 2 mils dry (3-5 wet mil, do not exceed 7 wet mils) per coat to achieve optimal performance, however it is mandatory to determine the acceptable mils thickness for each specified job.

E. Mark time of application to establish pot life of material. Typical pot life is 1.5 to 2 hours depending on temperature and humidity. Exposure to direct sunlight, heat, or high humidity will decrease pot life of the material. Discard material after 2.5 hours.

F. Product should not be mixed with other products or containers of GCP 1000 Do not mix partial kits.

G. Follow manufacturer’s specified mixing instructions and dwell time charts. Never add water directly to activator or unanalyzed polyol.

H. Apply coating in a crosshatch pattern. One vertical pass and on horizontal pass are considered one coat.

I. Spray applications are recommended by manufacturer for optimal coverage and appearance. Material sets up quickly and pulls easily, use caution when backrolling.

J. Coverage rates are affected by porosity, texture, method of application and environmental conditions. Average coverage rates should be approximately 250 top

NUVIS
22-040.01
Hermosa Beach Pickle Ball
Court Improvements
Hermosa Beach, California
ANTI-GRAFFITI COATING 099623 - 8
280 square feet per gallon per coat. Application will require two coats of material.

Coverage rates for extremely porous surfaces will be substantially lower than normal rates. Applicator should establish coverage rates for job under these conditions. Do not use universal spec to determine coverage.

K. More material is not better. Over application will result in microblistering, poor adhesion, and blushing.

3.6 Graffiti Removal
A. Use manufacturer’s recommended graffiti remover for the specific system.

B. Spray vandalized area, allow 1-3 minutes before aggravating with a soft bristle brush or sponge.

C. Wash graffiti off with damp towels or pressure washer (1500psi)

3.7 Cleaning, Touching Up and Refinishing
A. General: Clean equipment immediately with solvents. Do not allow catalyzed material to stay in hoses beyond pot life. Clean material on shin and hair immediately with industrial soap and water.

B. Carefully remove all splatters, spots, and blemishes caused by work of this Section.

C. Upon completion of the Work, remove all rubbish, cans, and accumulated materials resulting from the Work. All areas must be left in a clean and orderly condition.

D. Runs, sags, misses, holidays, stains and other defects ion the coated surface, including inadequate coverage and mil thickness, will be satisfactorily touched up or refinished.

3.8 Field Quality Control
A. Inspection: Inspect the graffiti resistant coating Work with the construction manager, applicator, Project Coordinator and manufacturer’s representative, and compare with test panel results accepted by all of the above.

C. Special Installation Techniques:

1. Provide boxes in wiring and raceway systems wherever required for pulling of wires, making connections, and mounting of devices or fixtures.

2. Mount boxes at heights indicated on Drawings. If mounting heights of boxes are not individually indicated, give priority to ADA requirements. Install boxes with height measured to [center][top][bottom] of box unless otherwise indicated.

3. Recessed Boxes in Masonry Walls: Saw-cut opening for box in center of cell of masonry block, and install box flush with surface of wall. Prepare block surfaces to provide a flat surface for a raintight connection between box and cover plate or supported equipment and box, whether installed indoors or outdoors.

4. Horizontally separate boxes mounted on opposite sides of walls so they are not in the same vertical channel.

5. Locate boxes so that cover or plate will not span different building finishes.

6. Support boxes in recessed ceilings independent of ceiling tiles and ceiling grid.

7. Support boxes of three gangs or more from more than one side by spanning two framing members or mounting on brackets specifically designed for purpose.

8. Fasten junction and pull boxes to, or support from, building structure. Do not support boxes by conduits.

9. Set metal floor boxes level and flush with finished floor surface.

10. Set nonmetallic floor boxes level. Trim after installation to fit flush with finished floor surface.

11. Do not install aluminum boxes, enclosures, or fittings in contact with concrete or earth.

12. Do not rely on locknuts to penetrate nonconductive coatings on enclosures.

Remove coatings in the locknut area prior to assembling conduit to enclosure to ensure a continuous ground path.

13. Boxes and Enclosures in Areas or Walls with Acoustical Requirements:
a. Seal openings and knockouts in back and sides of boxes and enclosures with acoustically rated putty.
