Thread Name: BS: Asbestos Question???
Subject: RE: BS: Asbestos Question???
I've already lost one mate to mesothelioma, so my inclination is to take no chances with fibrous asbestos.
However, if you must be contrary and stupid, keep everything wet with a mist spray, wear a proper filter mask, overall suit, rubber gloves and overshoes, double-bag all waste and make sure everything's sealed under a good layer of thick paint (in the UK aluminium paint was often used to seal asbestos lagging).
But why take the risk?
