in THE MAIN WALL
Purchased a 1926 home in NJ. Working on getting the steam heat working better. One metal radiator cover has a liner. Could this be asbestos? It’s deteriorated and looks like layers of soft material but not crumbly like I would envision asbestos around pipes.

    Anything “could be” 🤣, but it looks more like Masonite.

    You can choose to do what you want, but you cannot choose the consequences.

    Since you've disturbed it that much already, why don't you just carry it outside...

    Thanks everyone. Will replace regardless but that was condition I found it in so not much I could do.
