Many of the asbestos floor tiles are well-adhered to the floor, though, and they seem very brittle where small pieces have broken off. Is there any method that would make removal of these tiles easier without having them end up breaking up into smaller pieces while trying to pry them out (I know you said to keep them wet to prevent dust in the air). I thought I read somewhere to put a bag of dry ice on top of a tile to help ease it's removal...is this true? What specific thing can I do to make it easier to remove the tiles intact without breaking them up?

Thanks again for your help!
