Asbestos Paint? (drive.google.com)
submitted 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago) by paul0207@lemmy.sdf.org to c/homeimprovement@lemmy.world
 

Is there any indication that this old peeling paint contains asbestos? (Sorry for the picture link but my lemmy server is not currently working with attachments). Thanks.

Asbestos is normally in the texture under the paint, not the paint itself. (Not that it can't be in paint but the texture is a different thing)
