I'm no scientist, but every time I've found asbestos in either our old house in Arkansas(built in 1943) or in the banana coolers at the warehouse where I worked, the asbestos had a distinctive "mint green" color to it. Not sure about the floor tiles at our current church though, haven't peeled them up yet I realize the old timey brake shoes that had asbestos in them probably weren't mint green, but YMMV. Yes, I don't know what I'm talking about, but I try asbestos I can. Been a while sincha heard that one..... DM&FS
