Encapsulate Asbestos Pipe Insulation with Rewettable Canvas Lag Cloth

To prevent dangerous fibers from entering the air, asbestos pipe is usually concealed (as a substitute to full asbestos removal).  The product most commonly used for concealing asbestos pipe is Re-Wettable Canvas (aka Lag Cloth).  This lag cloth is a canvas that is installed similar to the way wallpaper is installed.  It is dipped in water and wrapped around the pipe insulation.  Once the canvas dries, a hardened shell is developed (similar to a cast).  This shell conceals the fibers and helps protect the pipe insulation from mechanical or physical abuse.
