FINAL
TOUCHES
Cut trim strip by placing it into the cap and cut both at the same
time. After installing the cap extrusion, snap in the cap using a rubber
or plastic mallet or wood block and hammer. Trim strip installation
is the last step so check all bolts for tightness and determine that
everything is in place before installing trim. If you need to remove
the trim strip, pry slowly at one end and lift it out.
Use silicone or urethane sealant to seal all expansion joints, butt
joints and mitered corners. Seal all joining ends of gaskets. Also seal
all locations indicated in the system layout and detail illustrations.
Prepare surfaces to be sealed by wiping with methyl ethyl ketone, laquer
thinner, naptha or other such solvent; the cleaner the surface the better
your sealant will adhere. Tool all joints so that full contact is provided
between glass and metal, and to provide a smooth surface for proper drainage.
Use touch up paint to cover any scratches on the glazing system and
flashing. Matching color paint is available from US Sky in 12 oz. Spray
cans. |
