We were somewhere around Barstow, on the edge of the desert, when the
drugs began to take hold. I remember Bill
saying something like:

Do not clean by dry scrapping or by pressure washing, both can produce
dangerous quantities of free asbestos fibres. Either:

* Use remote cleaning. This technique involves skilled operatives
using units with enclosed rotary cleaning heads and high-pressure water
jets, the filtering of the water run off and the disposal of the filter
waste as asbestos waste. It should only be carried out by skilled
specialist contractors.
* Cleaning with surface biocides. The biocides are applied with
low-pressure sprays or as washes. The roof is then left for the moss and
lichen to die, when it can be gently brushed from the roof with soft
brushes. It is important that the roof is kept wet during the brushing
and the waste is carefully collected placed in plastic bags and disposed
of as asbestos waste.


What a load of self-serving cock.
Christ onna bike, you'd think the stuff was radioactive, the way some of
those ******* go on about it.



RADIOACTIVITY !!!

We're all doomed
