Asbestos is wonderful my dad used to save it. We had rolls of it like paper towels. When I was tiny I thought they were regular paper towels but my dad warned me before I used them. I saved a roll until about 2012 when I forgot it in my last house move. For shame. We used to use it for exhaust repair in cars. wrap the pipe and then clamp a soup can on there, and good for 5 years more. cheers everyone. I'll never stop using r12 though.

A couple of points I had expected to see would have been some form of exhaust stack. I thought the backpressure from water might be enough to stall an engine or if the engine were to stall, prevent it from restarting. A couple of other points would be the vent tubes on the axles and transmissions. I guess the gas caps weren't vented either, then again, the fuel system requires a vent somewhere otherwise a vacuum would form keeping fuel in the tank. Can't help but wonder how much skin is left on the hands of these guys!! Thats my $.02 worth, otherwise a great bit of info

Phase Four- Years later, poor bastard DIES FROM ASBESTOS EXPOSURE AFTER LIVING THROUGH THE WAR. With dangers of exposure not fully known or disclosed until relatively recent times, Grandpa's final malady is never really related to his war days and makers of asbestos goop never are taken to task for killing him. Just fucking brilliant. And, not in the least, the half-assed proceedure shown here to "waterproof" a vehicle. Jeep at end shown up to its dash in oceany goodness doesn't address any of the exposed gauges, underdash wiring, you- name-it getting wrecked by "dat pesky ol saltwater". ALL of the under carriage AND any engine orfice ( rad cap, oil filler cap,dipstick) unless addressed ASAP after seizing the island probably seized all those vehicles. Again....JUST BRILLIANT.
