"Asbestos is another one of those items that is a bad word, yet folks been around it for years and never any ill effects so go figure."

George,

No offense, a point of fact, and not to divert from the subject of the thread, but Asbestos will kill you.

My father died from Interstitial Fibrosis, which is caused by a single microscopic particle of Asbestos becoming lodged in the bottom of the lung. Over a period of 20-30 years it will cause the lung to gradually crystalize, creeping upward until it becomes the approximate consistancy of fiber glass. In an x-ray, it looks like jagged ice crystals.

A very prolonged, slow and painfull death. There is no cure, it makes lung cancer look like a bad cold.
