Ive plenty here in several forms, woven and hard sheets, a pair of old asbestos gloves from woven cloth. etc We Dont throw anything away. As you may recall im in the UK and If I wanted some asbestos insulation off steam pipes i go to one of our local ship yards and trade some beer with a ships rigger for some. Your going to have to find some place thats got some and who has it, to let you have some . One thing I forgot to mention last time I posted about asbestos, was we had a big clearout of several old caravans last year, in one of these I had stored a large quantity of the insulating suspended ceiling panels. 3ft by 2ft. In the big fire we had to burn up all the old wood etc, I put several of these sheets on top of the fire. Now to my surprise they didnt burn, they insulated the fire to an extrodinary degree and eventually after ablout half an our crumbled away. Now my guess is that these sheets are a mixture of glass fibre and cement in an open pore form. there quite light and meant to be insulating as well as fire proof, and its easy to cut and break up. Ive not had a moment to run some trials with it. It depends on where you are but try your yellow pages for suspended ceiling installers. If you can find some of this material it might just be a solution to what ever you plan to use the asbestos powder for. Keep us posted Ted. |

You could get loose asbestos in lumber yards back then. So, the air in the sculpture room became a hazy mess -- people pouring powdered asbestos, mixing it with concrete and water with big paddles. I was the only one who seemed convinced that there might be a problem, and moved all my work outdoors and downwind. I often wonder what happened to the hundreds of people who went through his classes. |

Barbeques on fire by the chalets past the castle headland I watched the gift shops glitter in the darkness off the Newborough gate All these moments will be lost in time, like icecream on the beach Time for tea. |

smoke signal from Ted Frater rang out, which was heard to say : Frosty wrote: I want some. In powdered form. Anyone know where I can purchase some? hi Frosty, Where to buy it? Probably a heating /steam boiler installer Any chance of telling us what you want it for? Sure! I used to buy it in a small cardboard w/metal lid to mix with water to form a paste. It makes a really great heat sink which one can use when soldering on jewelry. I'd pack it around emeralds, garnets, and amethysts, solder quick (I use oxy/ace) and there's no problems. The form it was in looked like that stuff you sometimes find inside of padded envelopes. I've plenty here in several forms, woven and hard sheets, a pair of old asbestos gloves from woven cloth. etc We Don't throw anything away. I also used to get it in sheets, rolled, about 30cm wide. I like the powdered better. As you may recall im in the UK and If I wanted some asbestos insulation off steam pipes i go to one of our local ship yards and trade some beer with a ships rigger for some. Your going to have to find some place thats got some and who has it, to let you have some . Thanx!

discovered a keyboard and, for our edification and amusement, submitted I often wonder what happened to the hundreds of people who went through his classes. Probably something rather similar to what happened to many of my old colleagues involved in the preparation of the investment material for the lost-wax casting process. In those days we couldn't even spell "silicosis", much less worry about it. Several of my friends died - one even surviving for several years with just one lung... Blessed be, for sure... |

Only Mercury and fine powdered gold, to make the gold amalgam. And a wire brush to apply the amalgam. -- Abrasha http://www.abrasha.com |
