How To Test For Asbestos

[@stevenrodriguez3601]

Thanks for the info, I'm not gonna attempt to clean this now living in an apartment. Thank you so much after viewing cleaning your popcorn ceiling video.

Happy to help

[@victorfranco534]

Great video, really helpful. Although the hole point of the gloves is to actually use them while you are taking the sample 4:30.

What if it's fluffy cotton insulation? Do I need to wet it?

[@VIIIIIIIV]

Was asbestos only in the actual drywall or did the paper/cardboard around it have it also

[@luchovera2464]

I just realized that my ceramic board from Peru on my jewelry bench is made of Asbesto. I made lots of soldering there

[@VIIIIIIIV]

Can you use a can of spray paint?

[@Butterflyneverlands]

But should you throw the waste, which could be contaminated, into the trash?

[@CleanWithConfidence]

No. As I mentioned in the video you are gonna need to check with your state to see where you can take it.

I always have a problem keeping my barbecue grill clean got any tips?

[@1983Beardo]

Posts video. 7 minutes of describing what a barbecue is and otherwise stating the bleeding obvious, one minute telling you about a company in America that cleans barbecues.

[@matthewcurry3565]

Use only asbestos.

[@gingerhills7581]

Lol the stuffed cat! Very informative. Thank you.

I suppose you could use the N100 mask as well?

[@TDGCmote]

A mask is pretty choice here. P100 is at least sufficient

[@jamesphillips2285]

Yes. The N stands for "Not oil resistant".

[@dinamiteurdinamiteur2324]

Only 30/40$ for a p100 respirator?

[@gremillionzendar2519]

Kind of odd channel tbh, but it's good to see someone doing something they enjoy. Good on you

[@CleanWithConfidence]

Thanks for the comment!

How good is the TEM and PLM test ? I have had both done with negative results . My home has vermiculite popcorn ceilings for context . 8% vermiculite.

[@ricosrealm]

You probably have to do multiple samples in different places and send to different labs to cover all your bases.

[@ambatson8897]

@@ricosrealm Thankfully I found some abatement contractors to help me walk through everything. They trusted the lab and didn’t recommend the abatement process due to the negative test.

[@ricosrealm]

Did more research: if it is less than 1% the PLM will not detect it unless you go with a more accurate 400 or 1000 point test. Those costs a lot more... $65-100. Less than 1% is not legally considered a harmful product. Standard PLM test is mostly guesswork as to percentage between 1-10%.

How to taste for asbestos

[@chlombra]

I'm in trouble. I have popcorn ceiling and it is peeling. Had no idea it could be dangerous.

[@CleanWithConfidence]

Yes you might want to have it tested.

[@matthewcurry3565]

Burn it all down. Then throw it in that trash can.

[@dougjones4987]

Really,Is that asbestos you can do?

[@ggyy-ggyy]

hi, i thought N95 filter is capable of blocking particles above 0.3 micron and since asbestos fibres range anywhere from 0.7 micron to 90 microns, why cant N95 filter asbestos?? @@

[@jamesphillips2285]

It can. It may let up to 5% though though.

Me and my friends just broke into an abandoned and condemned house and think that we can probably refurbish it with a little love and whatnot. Asbestos is really my only worry. I found exactly what I was looking for in this video. Thanks

Hi, does fiberglass insulation from 1960 contain asbestos? some say fiberglass insulation doesn't contain asbestos? please let me know.

If you live in Cali, then you really can't do much yourself. I live in Oregon, it's pretty bad here too

@@jaxflfreebird I bash on Dems, but I don't like Reps either. At least the Dems consistent in how they act, always down with blaming the open market printing money. Reps do this in times of crisis, then pretend to support the open market again.

[@kurtwillett8555]

Asbestos dust doesn't come out in the washing machine. You should of been wearing a disposable cover all. Also needed a decontamination area...water suppression isn't enough. Your clothes are contaminated! You contaminated everyone who uses the same washing machine as you.. I have a B class Asbestos removal Certification. Its my day job..... You shouldn't be giving advice..

[@Lady-pu8es]

Will it be safe to let a professional in to test? after he's gone will it be in the air and safe to be in lounge?

[@slickcatricky7694]

What are similar dangerous things that cannot be removed in the washing machine??? How about other particulate matter from construction/renovation and volcanic ash fall particle?

Asbestos dust can take up to 72 hours to settle in a sealed room.

Step every single one. If it looks like anything.... Burn. It. All. Down. And also throw it in that trash can. Spooky stuff asbestos is.

[@jaxflfreebird]

Asbestos does not burn. If you knew anything about asbestos you'd know that. That is the reason asbestos was used to begin with around heaters, fireplaces, anywhere heat is an issue. And then 10000 other uses as well.

[@matthewcurry3565]

@@jaxflfreebird I was jokingly saying burn the house down, but the joke still fails, because of asbestos's fire retardant properties. I was not saying asbestos burns. Its a trillion little needles, and I'm aware of the facts around it. Have a good one friend.
