Acetone is one way, but I would also look into some of the new adheasive removers.The one that I am thinking of is called something like Gunk or Gum.

However, I see potential to work deals in many different ways and can see where straying from what I know could be dangerous without a strategy.If you can share an example, an article on someone gummed up by either of these situations, it would be really educational.

Many of the older vinyl floor tiles and any associated paper-like backing, mastic, adhesive or glue, may contain asbestos.

Metal in the valleys with mastic. 

They didn't experience the big run-up in prices when the bubble inflated, so they didn't get gum all over their faces when it popped.

The principal's eyes opened really wide and before he could stop the answer, Harry replied, 'Bubble gum.' 6) Ms.

200,000 pieces of bubble gum at $.05 a pop. properties are expensive here in Atlanta.

... also in floor mastic, ceiling tiles, wiring, caulk, window glaze, insulation, and a whole host of other things I'm likely forgetting.

Asbestos was used in many materials throughout buildings - stucco; window putty; asbestos-cement shingles, pipes, and flues; pipe, duct, and vessel insulation; sheet vinyl flooring; drywall joint compound (so over much of the drywall surface); plaster; floor tile (all sizes); flooring, mirror, ceiling tile, and other mastics; roofing; plastic roof cement; roof coatings; acoustic ceiling texture; ceiling tile; and more.Lead-based paint coated with non-lead-based paint in good condition is less of an issue, as long as it is maintained, and is not damaged or disturbed, as by repair and renovation work, or deterioration.

This is what the EPA.gov website said was best [pre Trump, don;t know if its still up there] and I agree.Yesterday I looked the sub square in the eye and went over with him that he was ONLY peeling off the vinyl from the asbestos tiles.He said oh yeah he used ot own a ServPro and a job like that would have cost 5k with his biz.So I took comfort that this blithering idiot at least understood NOT to remove the asbestos tiles.Long story short he took up the peel and stick just fine.And then he apparently went to town chipping and breaking up a bunch of the asbestos tiles.And scraping the asbestos mastic too.I took video and photos and am basically in shock.I am in Maryland am now figuring out what to do.
