If you touch asbestos by accident, immediately wash yourself and your clothes.

Asbestos siding is harmful as it can produce fibers that, once inhaled into your respiratory system, may cause mesothelioma, other lung cancers, and a dangerous scarring of the lung tissue called asbestosis. You can contain the siding within a series of barriers, but it is our recommendation that you hire a professional to remove any asbestos in your house.

Although you may be able to buy this sealant yourself, it is highly advised that, once you find asbestos, you call a pro immediately.
