FOR CONTACT WITH POINTING MORTAR. BRUSH, VACUUM, OR FINISH JOINTS TO REMOVE DIRT AND LOOSE DEBRIS.

2. DO NOT SPALL EDGES OF MASONRY UNITS OR WIDEN JOINTS. REPLACE ANY MASONRY UNITS WHICH BECOME DAMAGED.

3. CUT OUT OLD MORTAR BY HAND WITH CHISEL AND MALLET, UNLESS OTHERWISE INDICATED.

4. POWER-OPERATED ROTARY HAND SAWS AND GRINDERS WILL NOT BE PERMITTED UNLESS IT CAN BE DEMONSTRATED TO ARCHITECT TO WORK SUCCESSFULLY

WITHOUT DAMAGING CLAY MASONRY ON HORIZONTAL JOINTS ONLY. POWER-OPERATED GRINDERS ON VERTICAL JOINTS ARE PROHIBITED.

C. JOINT POINTING: RINSE MASONRY JOINT SURFACES WITH WATER TO REMOVE ANY DUST AND MORTAR PARTICLES. TIME APPLICATION OF RINSING SO THAT, AT TIME

OF POINTING, EXCESS WATER HAS EVAPORATED OR RUN OFF AND JOINT SURFACES ARE DAMP BUT FREE OF STANDING WATER.

1. APPLY FIRST LAYER OF POINTING MORTAR TO AREAS WHERE EXISTING MORTAR WAS REMOVED TO DEPTHS GREATER THAN SURROUNDING AREAS. APPLY IN

LAYERS NOT GREATER THAN 3/8 INCH (9.5MM) UNTIL A UNIFORM DEPTH IS FORMED. COMPACT EACH LAYER THOROUGHLY AND ALLOW TO BECOME

THUMBPRINT-HARD BEFORE APPLYING NEXT LAYER.

2. TAKE CARE NOT TO SPREAD MORTAR OVER EDGES ONTO EXPOSED MASONRY SURFACES, OR TO FEATHEREDGE MORTAR.

3. WHEN MORTAR IS THUMBPRINT-HARD, TOOL JOINTS TO MATCH APPROVED SAMPLE. REMOVE EXCESS MORTAR FROM EDGE OF JOINT BY BRUSHING.

4. CURE MORTAR BY MAINTAINING IN A DAMP CONDITION FOR NOT LESS THAN 72 HOURS.

5. WHERE REPOINTING WORK PRECEDES CLEANING OF EXISTING MASONRY, ALLOW MORTAR TO HARDEN NOT LESS THAN 30 DAYS BEFORE BEGINNING CLEANING

WORK.

6. CURE HYDRAULIC LIME MORTAR ACCORDING TO MANUFACTURER’S REQUIREMENTS. NEW LIME POINTING MORTAR WILL NEED TO BE DAMPENED REGULARLY

WITH THE FOLLOWING CURING METHODS:

a. ACCEPTABLE CURING METHODS INCLUDE COVERING WITH WET BURLAP AND POLYETHYLENE SHEETED PANELS, PERIODIC HAND MISTING, AND

PERIODIC MIST SPRAYING USING SYSTEM OF PIPES, MIST HEADS, AND TIMERS.

b. ADJUST CURING METHODS TO ENSURE THAT POINTING MORTAR IS DAMP THROUGHOUT ITS DEPTH WITHOUT ERODING SURFACE MORTAR.

7. FOR HYDRAULIC LIMES, RETENTION OF MOISTURE WITHIN THE MORTAR FOR THE FIRST SEVERAL DAYS [MINIMUM OF 96 HOURS] IS CRITICAL TO ENSURE THAT

THE HYDRAULIC SET TAKES PLACE BECAUSE ITS HYDRAULIC CONSTITUENTS REACT WITH WATER ITSELF. THEREAFTER, THE REMAINING CARBONATION SET

REQUIRES CYCLICAL LIGHT DAMPING AND SLOW DRYING. FOLLOW MANUFACTURER’S INSTRUCTIONS REGARDING THE TREATMENT OF THE MORTAR JOINTS

THROUGHOUT THE DURATION OF THE CURING PROCESS.

8. HAIRLINE CRACKING WITHIN MORTAR OR MORTAR SEPARATION AT EDGE OF A JOINT IS UNACCEPTABLE. COMPLETELY REMOVE SUCH MORTAR AND REPOINT.

3.08 PATCHING

A. PATCHING AND REPAIR OF MISCELLANEOUS CRACKS IN EXISTING FACADE.

1. REPAIR FACADE CRACKS IN STONE UNLESS DIRECTED ON DRAWINGS TO "REBUILD" CRACKED AREAS OR "SAW CUT" CRACKED AREAS. (ASSUME 100 LINEAR

FEET OF REPAIR)

B. FACADE CRACKS: AS FOLLOWS, UNLESS OTHERWISE INDICATED.

CRACK SIZE (WIDTH)

PROCEDURE

1/64" (.39MM) OR LESS

REPOINT CRACKED MORTAR JOINTS.

NO REPAIR OR REPLACEMENT REQUIRED.

1/64" (.39MM) TO 1/16"(1.5MM) REPOINT CRACKED MORTAR JOINTS.

PRESSURE INJECT GROUT INTO STONE CRACKS OR REPLACE MATERIAL.

3.09 APPLICATION OF JOINT SEALANT

A. REFER TO SECTION 079200 - JOINT SEALANTS.

B. REPLACE DETERIORATED SEALANT CRACKED SEALANT, MISSING SEALANT, AND SEALANT NOT BONDED TO ADJACENT SURFACES.

C. REPLACE ENTIRE AREAS OF SEALANT WHERE INDICATED ON DRAWINGS.

3.10 MISCELLANEOUS WORK

A. PAINTING STEEL UNCOVERED DURING THE WORK, INSPECT STEEL EXPOSED DURING MASONRY REMOVAL. WHERE ARCHITECT DETERMINES THAT IT IS STRUCTURAL,

OR FOR OTHER REASONS CANNOT BE TOTALLY REMOVED, PREPARE AND PAINT IT AS FOLLOWS:

1. REMOVE PAINT, RUST, AND OTHER CONTAMINANTS ACCORDING TO SSPC-SP 2, "HAND TOOL CLEANING" AS APPLICABLE TO MEET PAINT MANUFACTURER'S

RECOMMENDED PREPARATION.

2. IMMEDIATELY PAINT EXPOSED STEEL WITH TWO COATS OF ANTIRUST COATING, FOLLOWING COATING MANUFACTURER'S WRITTEN INSTRUCTIONS AND

WITHOUT EXCEEDING MANUFACTURER'S RECOMMENDED RATE OF APPLICATION (DRY FILM THICKNESS PER COAT).

3. IF ON INSPECTION AND RUST REMOVAL, THE CROSS SECTION OF A STEEL MEMBER IS FOUND TO BE REDUCED FROM RUST BY MORE THAN 1/8 INCH (3 MM)

NOTIFY ARCHITECT BEFORE PROCEEDING.

3.11 TOOLING STONE

A. AT LOCATIONS INDICATED, REMOVE FLAKING OR FRAGMENTED STONE DOWN TO SOUND STONE. NOTIFY PROFESSIONAL IF DEPTH OF REMOVED STONE EXCEEDS 3/4-

INCH (19 MM).

B. TOOL THE STONE SURFACE TO MATCH THE ORIGINAL STONE FINISH. USE HAND OR PNEUMATIC CHISELS AND DIAMOND POLISHING/GRINDING PADS.

1. BEVEL EDGES OF TOOLED AREAS APPROXIMATELY 45 DEGREES.

2. WHERE THE RE-TOOLED AREA IS ABOVE A MORTAR JOINT, TOOL AND BEVEL THE STONE BELOW TO SHED WATER.

3.12 FINAL CLEANING

A. AFTER MORTAR HAS FULLY HARDENED, THOROUGHLY CLEAN EXPOSED MASONRY SURFACES OF EXCESS MORTAR AND FOREIGN MATTER; USE WOOD SCRAPERS, STIFF

NYLON OR FIBER BRUSHES, AND CLEAN WATER, APPLIED BY LOW PRESSURE SPRAY.

1. DO NOT USE METAL SCRAPERS OR BRUSHES.

2. DO NOT USE ACIDIC OR ALKALINE CLEANERS.

B. CLEAN ADJACENT NON-MASONRY SURFACES. USE DETERGENT AND SOFT BRUSHES OR CLOTHS.

C. CLEAN MORTAR AND DEBRIS FROM ROOF; REMOVE DEBRIS FROM GUTTERS AND DOWNSPOUTS. RINSE OFF ROOF AND FLUSH GUTTERS AND DOWNSPOUTS.

D. REMOVE MASKING MATERIALS, LEAVING NO RESIDUES THAT COULD TRAP DIRT.
