All loose or split caulking is to be removed and replaced.
If mildew is evident, it must be removed by scrubbing or power wash equipment using a commercial mildew wash.

Clear finishes that have deteriorated must be removed with paint and varnish remover, the surface sanded thoroughly and given 3 coats Impervo 440 Spar Varnish.
Clear finishes in good condition to be sanded and refinished with 2 coats Impervo 440 Spar Varnish.
Clear stained finishes in good condition are to be sanded and washed then refinished with Moorwood Penetrating Clear Wood Finish and Preservative (088).
E. METAL - Structural or Plate Steel
All surfaces must be free of grease and oil, and cleaned in accordance with SSPC-SP1-63, "Solvent Cleaning," followed by removal of all loose, scaling paint by hand scraping, or by the use of power tools. Rusted surfaces should be cleaned in accordance with SSPC-SP2-63, "Hand Tool Cleaning," or SSPC-SP3-63, "Power Tool Cleaning."
Coat surface where all traces of rust cannot be removed with Moore's IMC Rust Converter (M82) or Moore's IMC Rust Pretreatment (M84).

The surface should be blown off with compressed air to remove traces of blast products, and must be primed within 24 hours with IronClad Alkyd Low Lustre Metal & Wood Enamel (163), IronClad Latex Low Lustre Metal & Wood Enamel (363), Moore's IMC Acrylic Metal Primer (M04), Moore's IMC Alkyd Metal Primer (M06), or Moore's IMC Universal Metal Primer (M07).
F. METAL - Galvanized
All surfaces must be free of grease and oil and shall be cleaned in accordance with SSPC-SP1-63, "Solvent Cleaning." Galvanized Metal buildings may be cleaned using high pressure spray method.
Peeling and scaling paint and chalk must be removed by scraping, sanding and wire brushing. Rusted surfaces must be cleaned by scraping, sanding and wire brushing, then primed with one of Benjamin Moore's rust inhibitive paints or Moore's IMC Acrylic Metal Primer (M04) or Moore's IMC Rust Converter (M82).
Weathered, unpainted galvanized metal surfaces must be wire brushed or power washed to remove deposits of "white rust," then primed with Ironclad Latex Low Lustre Metal & Wood Enamel (363) or Moore's IMC Acrylic Metal Primer (M04). Rusted areas must be sanded clean, and spot primed with Ironclad Latex Low Lustre Metal & Wood Enamel (363) or Moore's IMC Acrylic Metal Primer (M04), then coated overall with Ironclad Latex Low Lustre Metal & Wood Enamel (363) or Moore's IMC Acrylic Metal Primer (M04).
G. MASONRY - Poured/Precast Concrete, Block Construction, and Stucco
Remove all peeling and scaling paint to as sound substrate by hand scraping, use of mechanical grinders or with high pressure spray equipment.
