Leland is correct. Many roofing felts and roofing cements (tar) had and still have asbestos so I would not be surprised to find asbestos in a slate roofing project, not IN the slate but all over it.

Some of the slates tested may have had caulk or mastics adhered to them that contained asbestos.

Best,

It was real slate and I would be REAL surprised to find out there was any asbestos in it wouldn’t y’all?

You tell him Ralph, do I need to check the mail box for you?

You check yours, I'll check mine.  I have a feeling we'll find the same thing.

 

And since when doesn't Twybil trust Rudy to be able to distinguish between God's own real slate and the asbestos-laden fake stuff?  Say it ain't so, Rudy.
