My garage has abspestos walls the interior requires cleaning and a coat of emulsion - I though of spraying with water to dampen fibres and clean off cob-webs, dust etc then use a roller and emulsion - is it safe to do this?
Plus some of the outer walls have unsightly cracked paint , how can i safely remove old peeling paint and emulsion with roller?
thanks for any advice
Its white asbestos (thanks for the correct spelling) as far as I know its not the worse type which I think is bluey/grey?
Some of the walls are smooth but just need a fresh coat of paint but how do I treat the walls that have old peeling paint, which I would have to remove before applying new paint but the question is how do I do this safely?
if it's emulsion paint i would probably soak it and scrape it off before re painting. I wouldn't want to risk too much dust from it, even if it is the less dangerous kind.
Thanks for your replies to my question - yes I will purchase a quality dust mask first - then try spraying the wall with water and see what effect this has on removing the flaky peeling paint.
