FLEXIBLE EPOXY CONSOLIDANT 100
| SECTION 06610 |
WOOD EPOXY CONSOLIDATION |
(non structural)
|
|
The work in this section
consists of epoxy consolidation of deteriorated wood.
|
|
A.
|
Submit manufacturer's product
literature and product specifications. |
|
B.
|
Submit small sample of epoxy
consolidated decayed wood and a small cast disk of epoxy to the
Project Manager for approval prior to application. |
|
C.
|
Submit manufacturer's Material Safety Data Sheet (M.S.D.S.)
|
| 1-4 |
Product Storage & Handling:
|
|
A.
|
Deliver epoxies in
manufacturer's original, unopened containers and store inside at
room temperature or as recommended by manufacturer. |
|
B.
|
Do not use epoxies which have
exceeded manufacturer's shelf life. |
|
C.
|
Epoxies which have frozen
since manufacture are not to be used. |
|
D.
|
Follow safety precautions of
epoxy as defined by manufacturer or product associations or
OSHA. Observe good housekeeping practices when working with
epoxies. |
|
E.
|
Flammable solvents may not be
stored in or brought within 20 feet of an historic structure.
|
|
A.
|
Epoxy applications are to be
performed in favorable weather conditions as defined by 5.1 5.4 of
ASTM C962-81 |
|
B.
|
Wood to be consolidated must
be dry and have a moisture content below 20% by weight.
Protect area from moisture until epoxy has completely cured.
|
|
C.
|
Epoxy consolidant must be
within a temperature range of 50º to 90º F at the time of
application. Wood within 3 inches of the consolidation area
must be within the temperature range of 45º-90º F at the time of
application. Area consolidated must not be subjected to
freezing temperatures within 24 hours of application. Use of a
heat tent around area is acceptable. Shade mixing and
application areas from direct sunlight. Provide shade to
application area for a minimum of 8 hours following consolidation of
the affected area. |
|
D.
|
Area is to be secured from
public use during epoxy application. Do not spray epoxy within
30 feet of public access. Secure areas as necessary to prevent
intrusion of unqualified personnel. |
|
A.
|
Following application leave
all areas free and clean of epoxy. Discard unused epoxy,
containers, tools and towels in accordance with local, state and
federal Environmental Protection Agency regulations.
|
|
A.
|
Epoxy consolidant:
Epoxy should be of a type which has regular and proven use for
consolidation applications in decayed wood. Epoxy must have
low viscosity and be slow curing to allow for maximum penetration
and successive applications. When fully cured epoxy must be
more flexible than wood at 50º-100º F temperature range.
|
|
Subject to compliance with
requirements, products which may be incorporated in the work may
include but are not limited to:
|
|
In most cases deteriorated
wood must be removed before the affected area can be accurately
defined. Actual parameters for epoxy consolidation may vary
for each situation. Verify conditions and proposed treatment
with Project Manager. |
|
A.
|
All loose and soft wood decay
must be removed prior to application of epoxy consolidant.
Attempt to remove decay down to solid wood. Verify standard
for performance with Project Manager. If not visible, 1/8"dia.
holes may be drilled into the affected area approximately 1½"apart
for better epoxy penetration. Remove all loose wood fragments
and blow out dust. |
|
B.
|
Protect decayed area from
moisture until consolidant has been applied and has completely
set. Wood to be consolidated must be dry and have a moisture
content of less than 20% to within 3 inches of the area to be
repaired. |
|
C.
|
Protect vegetation and
horizontal surfaces from epoxy damage, spills or drips.
|
| 3-3 |
Installation/Application:
|
|
A.
|
Epoxy consolidant may be
applied by pouring, brushing or by spraying. Power spraying is
preferred to maximize penetration and coverage of hard to reach
areas. Read all manufacturer's instructions and
cautions. |
|
B.
|
Apply liberally to prepared
decay area. Do not allow consolidant to touch adjacent areas,
materials or building components. Repeat application 4 to 6
times or until surfaces will accept no more epoxy. Allow
approximately one hour between applications to minimize run-off and
wasting of product. |
|
C.
|
Keep epoxy consolidant out of
direct sunlight and at temperatures above 60º F. until fully
cured. |
|
Following application leave
all areas free and clean of epoxy. Discard unused epoxy,
containers, tools and towels in accordance with local, state and
federal EPA regulations. |
