This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.

This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

Just post some stuff and don't spam.

AFAIK asbestos was always mixed with another component, as asbestos is basically just lots of small fibers. So depending on what you mix it with, it can be soft or hard.
