3.2	PREPARATION
A.	General: Surfaces to be prepared as a substrate for the new roofing/waterproofing system as follows:
1.	Determine the condition of the existing structural deck/substrate. All defects in the deck or substrate shall be corrected before new roofing/waterproofing work commences. Areas of deteriorated deck/substrate, porous or other affected materials must be removed and replaced with new to match existing.
2.	Prepare flashing substrates as required for application of new roofing/waterproofing membrane flashings.
3.	Inspect substrates, and correct defects before application of new roofing/waterproofing. Fill all surface voids greater than 1/8 inch wide with an acceptable fill material.
4.	Remove all ponded water, snow, frost and/or ice from the work substrate prior to installing new roofing/waterproofing materials.
5.	Substrate for roofing/waterproofing shall be clean, dry, free of loose, spalled or weak material including coatings, mineral aggregate, and flood coat/gravel surfacing, oil, grease, contaminants, abrupt changes in level, roofing/waterproofing agents, curing compounds, and free of projections which could damage membrane materials.
B.	On-Site Substrate Testing: Perform tests at the beginning of the Work, and at intervals as required to assure specified substrate conditions with a minimum of 3 tests per 5000 SF area to be waterproofed. Smaller areas shall receive a minimum of 3 tests. Submit test results to the Architect promptly as they are completed.

2.	Roll the Kemperol Fleece directly into the Resin, making sure the SMOOTH SIDE IS FACING UP (natural unrolling procedure), avoiding folds and wrinkles. The fleece will begin to rapidly saturate with the liquid resin mix. Use the roller or brush to work the resin into the fleece, saturating from the bottom up, and eliminating air bubbles, wrinkles, etc. It is important to correct these faults before the resin cures.
3.	Apply the remaining 1/3 of the resin to the top of fleece to complete the saturation. Rolling the final coat of resin onto the fleece should result in a glossy appearance. The fleece can only hold so much resin and all excess should be rolled forward to the unsaturated portion of the fleece. The correct amount of resin will completely saturate the fleece and no white color will be visible. Work wet membrane to avoid any blisters, openings, or lifting at corners, junctions, and transitions. Always assure full resin saturation of fleece.
4.	Prevent contact between mixed/unmixed resin and new/existing membrane. If any unmixed resin contacts membrane surface remove immediately and clean thoroughly with a cloth rag.
