5.11 At each corner joint, apply a bead of Adhesive over the mitered seam
and spread the material flush with a putty knife.
5.12 Recheck the alignment and position of the barrier and its components
and tighten all of the assembly hardware using a 7/16 inch box-end or
combination wrench. The hardware has been properly tightened when
Adhesive material starts to squeeze out evenly around the edges of the
connector plates. Avoid over tightening as this will cause an Adhesive-
starved joint. Use a putty knife to scrape away the excess adhesive and
use it to fill any voids under the Barrier Strips.
5.13 Clean any Adhesive that has been spilled using a cloth lightly dampened
with denatured or rubbing alcohol.
5.14 Retain any mixed Adhesive that is left over for leak repair during the
coating process. If leak repair is not necessary, allow the Adhesive to
harden in its container and dispose of in accordance with local, state and
federal regulations.
5.15 If installing a Barrier System without floor coating, remove masking and
proceed to Section 7 for information on performing a leak test of the Barrier.
