My Fireplace
At the lower end of the fire can be
seen some individual points of light. Those are small pieces of
vermiculite glowing orange/yellow. Below the level of the natural gas
flame they appear as small gray nuggets. Vermiculite is the
asbestos product that put Libby, Montana on the map and on the EPA's
radar. This was in the house when we bought it and come to
think of it, the disclosure statement said that there was no asbestos
in the house. Hmmmmm.........................
Spackling
Compound
Sorry it's not easier to read, but in the middle of the eighth line down, magnesium aluminum silicate is listed. That would be the chemical name for asbestos. Why do you suppose they use the chemical name and not the trade name? They do warn you to wet sand, but if they told you this product could cause you an agonizing death, do you suppose it would sell as well? Perhaps a little too much truth in advertising.
