� � membrane will soften and begin to flow allowing it to crease and seal completely after applying pressure with a hand roller to ensure adequate bonding of the softened material. After heat- � sealing the "T" joint, Edge Sealant must be applied a minimum of 6 inches in each direction of the « � Probing Seams Probe all seams and repair all deficient seams no lather than the following workday. FAULTY SEAMS � HAVE BEEN THE SINGLE MOST COMMON DEFICIENCY NOTED BY MULE-HIDE INSPECTORS. Make it a routine to probe seams each workday, arid to repair all seam deficiencies with the hand welder before leaving the work site. �� Flashing Details While many roofing jobs are likely to have their own special problems, the contractor is just as likely to � face certain rooftop features over and over again. This section explains how to accommodate these common roof features quickly and effectively, time after time with the Mule-Hide Heat-Weld Membrane Roofing Systems. In general, when dealing with common roof features (curbs, vents, etc.), complete the pertinent details per Mule-Hide Standard Details. When approaching such features, cut and fit the membrane around � each obstacle you encounter. All membrane flashings shall be installed concurrently with the roofing membrane as the job progresses. Install night seals as necessary at the end of each workday. Should any water penetrate the new roofing because of incomplete flashings, the affected areas shall be � removed and replaced. In reroofing, maintain the ability of the existing roof to drain - don't block off � drains or scuppers. � The Advantage of Hot-Air Weldability The unique hot-air weldability of both the scrim-reinforced field sheet membrane and unreinforced � flashing membrane gives the contractor a special advantage when completing roof details. When used in connection with roofing details, hot-air welding provides the same assurance of watertightness as in field seaming - assurance that comes from permanently fused seams that can be as strong as the � Mule-Hide Heat-Weld Membrane itself. General Approach � The general approach to complete common roofing features involves hot-air welding, Mule-Hide Bonding Adhesive, Mule-Hide Edge Sealant, and terminating flashings. Common roofing features include such details as wall flashings, vertical and flat edge terminations, inside corners, outside � corners, round shapes, drains, curbs and pitch pockets. Mule-Hide recommends that you rely on pitch pockets only as a last-ditch measure, although from time to time they can provide efficient means of dealing with particular problems. � As a general approach, the Bonding Adhesive is used to adhere, as appropriate, field sheet membrane � to features such as curbs, vents, and parapets. Then, hot-air welding is used to seam membrane � overlaps and Mule-Hide Edge Sealant is applied to cut edges of reinforced membrane. IMPORTANT: All roofing work must follow Mule-Hide standard Details. Any failure to complete details f� to Mule-Hide specifications can stand between you and favorable inspection - and therefore, a liii Warranty. If no Standard Detail applies to a particular requirement of your job, sketch the way you think it should be handled and submit the sketch. with your Pre�ob Survey for approval. Consult Mule-Hide's � Technical Department if you have nay questions about the Mule-Hide Standard Details. NOTE: No deviation from Mule-Hide Standard Details is authorized until (1) it is submitted bythe � contractor in writing or sketch from for review and the job file, and (2) is approved by Mule-Hide's �
