[QUOTE="Wallike, post: 319680, member: 5688"] I deal with asbestos laden buildings on a college campus every day. So I have a good relationship with several abatement contractors. The issue is that the abatement process to remove the asbestos is the same for every type of asbestos in every asbestos laden material. So if you have steam pipe insulation that is extremely 'friable' and a floor with the 9" square tile and bark brown glue, which would would have to grind into a fine powder and snort to get exposed, is the same abatement process which has to be done the exact same way...expensively. I have my own thoughts on how justifiable asbestos abatement is and how dangerous asbestos is. Asbestosis is a real illness but explain to me why my uncle could live to be 89 years old, never had any lung issues his whole life and was a union pipe insulator when asbestos was used in every thing. So to answer your question, [B]in my opinion[/B], buy a good respirator, remove the tile carefully no to break the tile up to much (causing friability) use a good quality citrus based mastic remover to remove the glue, vacuum up when your all done with HEPA filter in your shop vac and go out fishing when your done.
