Can you verify this before I keep going? I’m looking at: Setting the pittsburg folder too deep and crushing the pocket. What’s the approved correction for this job?

Do not hide, force, cover, or “make it work” if this affects safety, access, airflow, rated assemblies, supports, equipment, or inspection. Stop and verify the approved correction.
