    I know somebody who has stacked unused sheets of asbestos. Very rare and hard find these days.

    Good way to set yourself up for a damages lawsuit from neighbours if it's not stored properly.

    I wouldn't touch the stuff, but I am interested just 'how much' is the asking price per sheet these days? I find it hard to believe there are sub contractors trading asbestos under the table.

    I can't think of any practical use for asbestos that doesn't have a safe alternative - you just can't cut the stuff without risking a slow painful death in years to come.

    Unless this thread is meant to be the synopsis of a troll.

    One of my previous jobs involved the erradication of asbestos in Victoria. My advice for what it is worth, is keep away from it as far as possible!

    On a side note, it is one of the prettiest things I have ever seen under a microscope - certainly worthy of being hung in an art gallery.

    Look on the bright side, it is one stack that will never burn to the ground or be stolen

    It acts like a great frisbee.
