Asbestos in plaster

09/24/2005 11:14 PM JonGlass


I plan to replace a section of my ceiling that has a bad crack. The house was built in 1920. I noticed on one piece of exposed plaster (that's about a quarter-inch thick) that there appears to be two sections: the surface plaster, which is white and about 1/8 thick, and then a grayish, crumbly material that makes up the rest of the thickness.
Is there any chance that the gray material has asbestos in it? Is there a quick way for a layman to test it for asbestos?
Thanks.
