Re: Carpet Glue

I've used many adhesives over many,(45) years,in construction and flooring and never heard of an asbestos based glue,or an asbestos additive in any of them.

Re: Carpet Glue

Black asphalt based glues (Pre 1985) may have been laced with asbestos. Would suggest having tested when there is a ?. Pass cost on to customer.
