asbestos

You mean this junk isn't outlawed everywhere?

No, why should it be? Yes, it can be quite hazardous used improperly or
processed improperly. It is safer left in place in most cases. As long as
you are not making dust, cutting etc, it is harmless. A coat of paint will
seal the dust in.

It has been banned from most uses in recent years. Housing in 1977 or 78.
