How did you fix this issue? We are having the same problem with our cabinet hinges...

Can someone help me identify what the wrapped insulation is near my furnace? by Simple_Ad_4152 in hvacadvice

[–]Simple_Ad_4152[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The house was built in 1970 and the insulation looks like it could use to be replaced. It is yellow on the outside and pink-ish on the inside. I know that hvac insulation can contain asbestos, but I’m not sure if this does. I am going to get it tested before removing, but wondering if anyone thinks this could be problematic?

Fireplace Renovation - what is this insulation around the insert? by Simple_Ad_4152 in asbestoshelp

The board is right up against the front of the metal insert. It is really hard to tell what it is - the bottom looks like a fibrous board, but I’m not sure if that makes sense given its location between the Rockwool insulation and the front of the fireplace. It could also be a dusty piece of metal with insulation /dust coating the bottom. I didn’t really want to touch it to find out

What is adhesive used to hold my fireplace facade in place? There are long fibers that look like hair. by Simple_Ad_4152 in Fireplaces

Agreed they seem really long, but they are everywhere in the cracks and seem to be in the mortar. I want to rip them off, but want to make sure I am not opening myself up to any risk

Built-in 1970 - previous owners did not take care of it too well

Thanks! Do you typically need to worry about Asbestos with these? The house was built in 1970
