H. Drill holes for bolts and screws. Conceal fastenings where possible. Exposed ends and edges mill smooth, with corners slightly rounded. Form joints exposed to weather to exclude water. I. All painted surfaces properly primed. Finish coating of paint to have complete coverage with no light or thin applications allowing substrate or primer to show. Finished surface smooth, free of scratches, gouges, drips, bubbles, thickness variations, peeling, foreign matter and other imperfections. J. Movable parts, including hardware, are be cleaned and adjusted to operate as designed without binding of deformation of members. All contact surfaces fit tight and even without forcing or warping components. K. Pre-assemble items in shop to greatest extent possible to minimize field splicing and assembly. Disassemble units only as necessary for shipping and handling limitations. Clearly mark units for re-assembly and coordinated installation. L. Completed sign installations shall not have any exposed openings so insect nesting inside of signs will be prevented. M. No signs are to be manufactured until final sign message schedule and location review has been completed by the RE/COR & forwarded to contractor. N. Final sign fabrication shall not proceed until samples and shop drawings detailing the sign system as it will be installed, have been submitted and approved during the submittal process. 2.7 PROTECTION OF ALUMINUM SPEC WRITER NOTES: 1. Coordinate the signage details to ensure that all fasteners for the aluminum signs are stainless steel, or otherwise in compliance. A. Isolate aluminum in contact with or fastened to dissimilar metals other than stainless steel, white bronze or other metals compatible with aluminum by one of the following: 1. Painting the dissimilar metal with a prime coat of zinc-chromate or other suitable primer, followed by two coats of aluminum paint. 2. Placing an approved caulking compound, or a non-absorptive tape, or gasket between the aluminum and the dissimilar metal. SPEC WRITER NOTES:
