Caulk slide joints using Sikaflex 291 - white polyurethane sealant. o Prepare all rusted surfaces with dual action sanders, grinders, and wire wheel. If necessary, prepare areas by hand scraping, sanding, and wire brush. o Make necessary repairs to any damaged areas on fiberglass prior to applying new coat. o Pre-prime corroded surfaces with a film-forming primer that chemically transforms rust, halting the corrosion process and enables the surface to accept a topcoat. o Spot prime all necessary areas including bare steel, corroded areas, rigging scrapes, burnishes, and welds, including fasteners with a premium epoxy primer. o Finish paint slide exteriors (original colors) with a premium polyurethane paint. o Finish paint all structural steel with a premium polyurethane paint. o Resurface interior of open areas of slides with a premium gelcoat to the recommended 20-25 mils Dry Film Thickness. o Apply a high-quality wax to the interior surface of all slides.
