Q-I appetite to acrylic over an asbestos accoutrement on some of the heating vents in my basements. I accept already closed the edges of the asbestos with tape. What affectionate of acrylic should I use?

A-I accept you are apropos to the thin, paperlike asbestos accoutrement that was pasted over some heating ducts in earlier homes. The accepted admonition of the Consumer Product Safety Commission for alleviative in-home asbestos abstracts in acceptable action is to leave them alone; the asbestos will do no abuse unless it is abashed and particles become airborne.

If you do acrylic the covering, however, I advance application an acrylic aerosol paint. Administer a attenuate sealer accoutrement application a actual affable aerosol and let it dry, again administer at atomic two added attenuate coats. Wear a respirator-type mask, gloves, a beard accoutrement and added careful clothing, and ablution all the clothes alone from added accouterment anon afterwards commutual the project.

Another way to abbreviate the asbestos accoutrement and additionally advance the heat-retaining adeptness of the ducts is to insulate the ducts with a foil-faced aqueduct insulation, awash at some home centers and barge yards.

Q-We installed several brick walks about our home, but they become actual glace because of a accretion of mildew. How can we break the problem? Would a sealer help?

A-Scrubbing the artery occasionally with a chlorine-bleach band-aid (one allotment achromatize to three genitalia water) should accumulate the artery chargeless of mildew. A water-repellent masonry sealer ability advice by authoritative the artery beneath absorptive to moisture, but the sealer apparently will charge to be renewed every year or so. If you body any added brick walks, accomplish abiding they accept a slight acme or accomplished in the centermost or angle hardly to one ancillary to ensure able arising of baptize from the surface.
