Abstract: A treatment area, such as a room, is sealed off from air flow communication with an outside environment whereupon cyanoacrylate is vaporized and fumed through a heating medium at a prescribed temperature throughout the treatment area. Upon cooling of the cyanoacrylate, asbestos is encapsulated within the cyanoacrylate within a thin film to simultaneously seal the treatment area and assist in removal of airborne asbestos fibers.

Abstract: A metallic frame fire-stop is set forth formed of planar-like reinforced rib construction including necked-down terminal end portions with integral interlock elements for twist-fit locking engagement with typical metallic studding, as commonly utilized in commercial construction. The width of the fire-stop members are dimensioned to equal those of metallic studding with the neck-down terminal end portions dimensioned to nest within the metallic studding's vertical legs. The so formed fire-stop accordingly require no accessory fastening elements for securement to the aforenoted studding.
