"<p><strong>MASTIC AND PUTTY<\/strong><\/p>\r\n<p><strong><\/strong><\/p>\r\n<p>The cove base adhesive sampled tested negative for asbestos; however, it adheres to the asbestos-containing\u00a0drywall substrate. Due to the difficulty in separating the adhered materials, the cove base in the bathroom, kitchen,\u00a0living room, and bedroom should be included in the abatement and disposed of as hazardous waste. As the\u00a0laundry\/mech and storage room are finished with wood panelling, the cove base in those rooms may be removed\u00a0as clean waste. It is important to note that these results apply only to the materials observed and sampled within\u00a0the restoration area and not to applications of putty or mastic elsewhere in the building.<\/p>"
