All kidding aside, for anyone else who needs to mess with an asbestos wrapped exhaust, the trick is to get it wet. It not only works better, but it pretty well eliminates having small bits of fibre released into the air while you are working with it. Mine is wrapped with what was then (1978) standard header wrap, which is an asbestos cloth about an inch and a half wide.
On my YSB12 engine, the outlet of the cast iron exhaust elbow is fitted to an iron pipe nipple, which is fitted to an ordinary 90 degree black iron plumbing elbow, which is fitted to a copper hose barb. The 90 degree plumbing elbow eventually rusted through where the water pooled just inside from the hose barb fitting. My first and only clue that something was amiss, was water in the bilge. I couldn't tell where the water was coming from with the engine off, and could only see it by climbing into the starboard lazarette with the engine running. The water was coming through the header wrap alright, but it was not possible to tell where exactly it was leaking without removing the wrap.

After removal, be sure to call one of the mesothelioma attorneys about your case. Dennis C.

The guy who did the repairs also recommended using MEK as a cleaner prior to any gluing. The problem with MEK is that it is getting difficult to find these days. The nanny state where I live is convinced that its citizens are incompetent fools, and that dense and expensive over regulation of everything is going to make us all somehow safe. Safe from everything except the fools in government I guess. End rant. Time to get back to work on the asbestos wrapped exhaust on the boat.

They actually painted on a new rubber topcoat. Inflatableboats.com has an orange cleaner/stripper that they promote using before refinishing. I've also had surprisingly good results from MEK or Interlux 202 stripper/cleaner though I would use it last. I plan on doing a complete refirb on my 10+ year old dinghy using multiple products from the first two sources. I guess I should make sure to get some before pictures now.
