[NJARC] ASBESTOS in old radios -- any suggestions?

[john ruccolo]

Hi Folks,

OK, now that we've given capacitors in series a
thorough flogging, I have a question for you:

Recently, I bought a small late 30's Zenith wood set.
The cabinet is a very nice style, but in poor
condition. When I pulled the chassis, I was dismayed
to find a layer of what appears to be asbestos
(glued?) to the wood under the chassis.

What is the safest way to stabilize this stuff? I
think trying to remove it is a *bad* idea. Is there
something I can spray it with to "seal" it and isolate
it? Maybe clear polyurethane?

Any sugesstions would be appreciated.

Yours in mesothelioma,

JR
