Oh sure, I know all about asbestos... Yeah, I lived thru the 50's when the stuff was everywhere and it 'weren't nuthin'"...

But I also know that ther folks were wrong then... It ***is*** something... And it ***is*** a very bad something...

Okay, this is my 3rd renovation project in 3 years and in all of them I have had to deal with asbestos... I've paid the professionals and I've done it myslef... The professionals are small companies (no, corporations...) who hire young folks who really don't give a danged about much so they put on the suits and masks, go to war and then laugh about it... The owner of the company bills you crazy money, you pay it and you come away thinkin, "Hey, I can do that a lot cheaper..." And just as safe...

That's what this thread is about...

I had an idea and, well, my idea was confirmed early except that harispray was the "fixer" instead o paint seems to be the way to go...

Like I said, I'll try it (mask and paper suits) under good lighting on a small test area and see if it distrubs the dust... If it doesn't then the wrappin' become a piece of cake... Wrappin, in these old buildings, is the goal... The asbestos stays where it is and isn't allowed ***out to play***...

Yeah, I appreciate folks warning me about this and that but paying kids $100 and hour to do the same thing I can do ain't appealing to me... Sure, for every component of renovation there are so-called experts 'cause they signed up as so or took a test but...

...not to worry, I can do this as well, or better, the experts... If I get too much dust, I'll be back but for now it's...

...cheap hairspray....
