I used to work in a steel heat treatment factory where asbestos wool was
commonly used as an insulator.
I used to have to stuff it into the required areas - masks were optional
!

Gulp, Gulp !!!

I worked in a shipyard in the Boiler Rooms of the ships being built. Pipes
being lagged with dry asbestos and wet asbestos, stuff mixed up with water
to apply in great handfulls. we had snowball fights with the stuff. Masks?
What were they? 1950's and much to the owners of the newsgroup I am still
here.
