What is 'wet sheet removal'?


removing sheets of it when it's wet, in that it can't dust up because it's
wet.

That said it's mostly a load of ********, a few people died of lung cancer
after working in asbestos factories for 50 years but many more didn't,
nowadays no one will go within 50 yards of it unless they're wearing a
radiation suit, breathing apparatus and 11 pairs of gloves
