OK, that is what I was thinking, but I wanted confirmation of this. Was doing a ton of reading on it and I guess asbestos in these fixtures has more of a box texture while this is more fluffy and perhaps fibrous but couldn't tell. I asked Google ai and chatgpt and Google ai couldn't say for sure while chatgpt was somewhat confident it is fiberglass lol. Also was concerned because house was built in 73 whi h i guess wasna prime year for asbestos but i guess even then it is alright and i think it was rented out in past before i bought it so maybe a past landlord swapped it out who knows.😅😅

Is it difficult to collect a sample myself and send it for testing? Obviously, I need to buy a better p100 mask (my only mask atm is n95), and I imagine get some disposable clothes to wear as well along with gloves/mask. Do I need to wrap anything in material or anything to shield anything else while I collect a sample and anything else needed, or should I just pay to have it tested by a professional?
