Feel free to post a picture of how the svartlim looks for those of us frantically searching for example images!
I'll upload pictures later. But Google images. There are so many. But as I understand it, you can't see with the naked eye if it's asbestos or not.
Anyway. Some updates. The tiles came off very easily. However, the heat gun and scraping didn't work
Too thick and rough underneath. Nothing came off.
I'm considering renting a concrete grinder with a vacuum cleaner at Cramo on Monday. I just hope they have one available and that I can return it on Tuesday or so. We'll see what they say. Otherwise, I'll have to do it after New Year. But it would be nice now with all the extra days off.
I think the rental would be about 3000 with asbestos removal afterwards. Could it be worth it?

Found this old thread, but I'm facing the same problem. How did it go? Did you manage to remove the black glue on your own?iamrane said:

Nice, the left picture roughly corresponds to my situation. How did you handle encapsulation of the room and did you attempt to create negative pressure?Yes!
Hyrde slip å specialdamsugare på nån hyrställe. Klädde mig som man ska och slipade bort allt. Gick riktigt smidigt. Lite läskigt. Lever än i alla fall
I replaced one of the windows in the room with a building board. In it, I placed an old bathroom fan. Outside, I set up an old vacuum cleaner and ran the hose through the board and connected it to the sander.
This created a negative pressure in the room and the air from the vacuum cleaner blew out outside the house. I discarded the vacuum cleaner when I was done.

Maybe not so smart to let asbestos get into the garden or to the neighbors since the fibers go everywhere.
Of course, it depends on where you live and how much asbestos you are removing. The concentration in the outdoor environment will be extremely small. If you live very close, it might be less ideal. It's probably worse to live next to a large road all year round than to live next to someone sanding asbestos for an hour. The vacuum cleaner doesn't blow the sanding dust straight out either; most gets caught in the HEPA filter. I don't know how the professionals manage when creating negative pressure. Do they have some sort of special filter there too? Maybe it's good to choose a rainy day.C CamillaLennartsson said:
Old thread, but same problemYes!
Rented a sander and a special vacuum at some rental place. Dressed as needed and sanded everything off. Went really smoothly. A bit scary. Still alive anyway
What type of sander was it? Was it a renovation sander with a disc with "cams" (image 1) or a machine with milling teeth (image 2)? Or something completely different??
Handheld machine??
