Stop if

Hold point on sealant cure time before pressure test: I have the location, photo, drawing/detail/spec/submittal, and what I checked. Who should verify before this gets covered, tested, started, labeled, or turned over?

Watch out

Do not pressure test wet sealant. Do not bury uncured mastic under insulation without checking cure conditions. Do not assume every bucket cures the same.
