Oramac68 May 22nd, 03, 07:18 PM probably does, as does the undercoating in wheel wells. Use a heat gun to soften, and scrape off if you need to remove it. Wear a good face mask and dispose of properly. Jim McGregor May 23rd, 03, 10:34 AM To remove asbestos insulation, make sure it is wet. The wetness prevents the asbestos dust from becoming airborne. lyncs2 May 23rd, 03, 04:45 PM ...thanks Oramac68 and Jim McGregor... In the process of removing, as we speak. Completely saturating material, letting it soak and then removing it "carefully" with a thin steel putty knife. Aslo using a Fresh-air Respirator, for good measure. KURT May 24th, 03, 02:50 AM After you remove the roof insulation what are you guys using to replace it? I already removed mine and I'm debating what material to use to replace it. Rons68 May 24th, 03, 03:44 AM I have my headliner out right now; this might be a dumb question, but why would you want to remove this material ? gjohnson May 24th, 03, 05:07 AM RONS68, I'm not removing mine, it is perfectly intact. I've seen some just falling out, in that case I would remove with all the precautions mentioned above using a resperator designed for asbestos and amended water (water and dish soap)in a spray bottle, keeping material wet at all time to prevent it from becoming friable. Asbestos won't kill you now, but it could 20 yrs from now, if you smoke maybe even sooner, bad stuff. Guy lyncs2 May 24th, 03, 07:25 AM I am removing the orignal Insulation in order for me to replace it with Dynamat. The Dynamat should be a better choice and is of the most current in insulation technology. |
