in exterior applications subject to snow and ice.
**************************************************************************************************************
B.
[Stagger profile recesses to prevent water from pooling and
freezing behind profiles in exterior applications subject to snow and ice.]
C.
Roughen recessed substrate and substrate surface on each side
of recessed substrate to width of profile in accordance with manufacturer=s instructions.
D.
Clean substrate with K-Cleaner in accordance with manufacturer=s instructions.
E.
Verify that substrate is clean, dry, sound, and free of loose
particles, grease, dust, and other substances which could affect bond of
profile.

Apply K-Tape to establish perimeter of required profile.
G.
Apply masking tape at outer edge of K-Tape to protect adjacent
substrate.

center.]
K.
Remove K-Tape and masking tape immediately by pulling upwards
and away from profile.
L.
Cure profile in accordance with profile manufacturer=s instructions.
1.
Direct heat from 2000 watt heat gun toward profile for 10
minutes for each 3.5 lineal feet.
2.
Maintain 4 inches minimum between heat gun tip and
profile. Maintain greater distance as
necessary to prevent heat damage to substrates beneath and adjacent to profile.
3.
Protect profile from foot traffic and vehicular traffic for
approximately 20 to 40 minutes, depending upon temperature, to allow profile to
cure.
