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

[Al Klase]

I've thought about this a couple of times.  Ordinary paint doesn't sound 
like a good idea, if the radio is going to be used, because it's 
basically plastic.  I have no idea regarding the characteristics of 
Ambroid cement, but I'm doubtful.  Perhaps high-temp. automotive or 
BBQ-grill paint would be better.  Another possibility is "water glass", 
sodium-silicate solution.  It lays down a clear, hard, finish that's 
used to fireproof wood or paper.  This stuff used to be available from 
pharmacies for preserving eggs.  Of course, in those days one could by 
potassium nitrate in any grocery store to make rocket fuel.

Regards,
Al
