Install bond breaker tape where indicated and where required by the manufacturer's recommendations to ensure that liquid applied sealants will perform as intended. Thoroughly and completely mask joints where appearance of sealant on adjacent surfaces would be objectionable. Employ only proven installation techniques, which will ensure that sealants are deposited in uniform, continuous ribbons without gaps or air pockets, with complete wetting of joint bond surfaces equally 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 vertical surface, fill joint to form a slight cove, so that joint will not trap moisture and dirt. Install liquid applied sealant to depths as shown or, if not shown, as recommended by the sealant manufacturer but within the following general limitations, measured at the center section of beads. Equipment: 1. Apply sealant under pressure with power-actuated or hand gun or other appropriate means. 2. Use guns with nozzle of proper size, providing sufficient pressure to completely fill joints as designed. For normal moving joints sealed with elastomeric sealants but not subject to traffic, fill joints to a depth equal to 50% of joint width, but neither more than 1/2" deep nor less than 1/4" deep. Do not allow sealants or compounds to overflow from confines of joints, or to spill onto adjoining work, or to migrate into voids of exposed finishes.
