Anyone who has viewed the recent Gormo`s Shed dealing with home made scenic materials should not attempt to make static grass from old fibrous carpet underlay. I have been reliably informed by Dr. Tony that there is a possibility that it may contain asbestos. As per below " I must though take issue with the re-use of old carpet underlay, the hessian type. A number of years ago I discovered that this stuff could contain asbestos. Then I did a bit of research and found this. http://healthywa.wa.gov.au/Articles/A_E/Asbestos-carpet-underlay It goes back to the whole idea of recycling and re-using unfortunately. In a nutshell, hessian bags have been used to transport asbestos as well as other things. When the bags had reached the end of their useful lives they were recycled into carpet underlay. There is therefore a slight, but small, chance that this underlay may contain asbestos from these bags. Not so much an issue for the homeowner,as it is under the carpet and a long way from people. But when you mix it up into a grinder into lots of tiny particles into they air... I wouldn't want anyone here to suffer from this terrible stuff, however small the chances."
