Guest Posted July 22, 2001 Share Posted July 22, 2001 Hello All,<P>I wanted to update those of you who may have read my earlier question on whether or not the carpet padding in my 1963 Le Sabre contains asbestos.<P>I took a small piece of it into a testing lab and had it analyzed. A bargain at $20, I might add !!<P>The results ... NO ASBESTOS.<BR>It is made up of ...<BR>20% Animal Hair<BR>60% Cellulose<BR>10% Synthetic Fibers<BR>10% Non Fibrous<BR>... just in case anyone was wondering !<P>Ira Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted July 22, 2001 Share Posted July 22, 2001 Thanks Ira!<P>I know there are (myself included) others who wondered/worried the same thing.<P>Since your's is a '63, it's fairly safe to presume that anything later doesn't contain asbestos either. Yay!<P>I am currious tho how you found a lab like that? And at only $20 no less!<P>-Scott Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Shaffer Posted July 23, 2001 Share Posted July 23, 2001 Goodness gracious. Was the animal hair the carpet, or was there just animal hairs from where a animal had been in it? <BR>Just kidding. I had to say it. <p>[ 07-22-2001: Message edited by: Shaffer ] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Domenico Posted October 1, 2007 Share Posted October 1, 2007 I was wondering if anyone knows if insulation under the hood of my 1953 Buick Special is asbestos-containing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
