The manufacturer's representative will inspect and clear these areas along with the remaining areas before the sealer application begins. 2. On any and all areas where mildew is present, remove mildew using bleach and water. Follow manufacturer's precautions and handling instructions on bleach products. Shrubbery which cannot be readily covered should be sprayed with water before bleach solution is applied and again afterward. D.

NOTE: Some sealants are not always compatible with all other architectural sealants. Therefore, determination of the type of material to be caulked over is essential before proceeding with any caulking of areas. All sealant joints are to be a minimum of inch wide. This will allow for at least inch adhesion to both sides of the joint.
