Cob: natural remodel

[Ted Schluenderfritz]

Thanks to all who answered my question.

Dealing with asbestos is kind of scary to me, but the idea of it hiding 
beneath whatever I put up over it also makes me a bit uncomfortable. What 
is the general consensus out there, cover it? or remove it?

when you say seal what do you mean, covering it with a natural plaster, or 
that type of thing?

Thanks again.
