Call a professional???

Why??? So I can pay $100 an hour per man for 3 weeks of work and go broke paying someone else to do excatly what I am going to do???

Not a realistic answer...

The "Hey, what's a little asbestos" comment is also reality... There is so much of this stuff in old buildings in the US that if you could harvest it, turn it into a breathable powder that you could probably kill off the entire population...

This isn' the issue... What is the issue is what I can do with my little stash of it.... That is why I posed the original question... Hey, 10 years ago the supposed asbestoe folks were removing it regardless... Now adays that just isn't a viable option in many cases such as old buildings that are being rehabed... It just insn't cost effective and if every company that was into rehabin' had to do it then many old buildings would just sit there boarded up...

I think the hair spray will work... I've been around enough of this stuff in my day so it isn't like I'm so novice... I've seen how loose asbestos reacts to being messed with... That's why I thought that spary paint might "fix" it during the wrapping stage... Hair spray I think will work much better... The key is to not allow it to do much more than settle on the asbestos buy holding it away from the stuff when spraying...

I'll have strong lights on it so I can see if it's working... Asbestos dust is quite visable so it won't take long...
