Be very carefull with any thing you suspect to be asbestos,all types are lethal,believe it or not you can get 1,000,000 fibres on a pin head,5,000,000n0n a ball point pen tip (both fig are approx),it takes 1 fibre to latch on your lung to kill you,there is no cure,if youve worked with it it takes 15 to 40 years to show.Its everywhere in artex,lino,old cement roof tiles,just to name a few.Weting it helps,its not dangerous till disturbed.So DONT touch.
We should all start to live before we get too old. Fear is stupid. So are regrets.

I had a laugh when the big headed cowboy builder neighbour took the old asbestos cement roof off of his garage - electric saw and no masks, dust everywhere, thankfully the wind was taking it all well away from me. That'll be one less for the TV programmes to feature!!!
