Hi- having inadvertently soaked the guts of one accordion tube (80 Westy), I have it out in the sun to dry. The inside is a wire basket tube with a white wrap and a grey wrap. The grey looks to be recycled cotton fluff, but the white is, I'm guessing, friable asbestos, or? If it is, I'm not too thrilled about it being in the heater line (now that I know what is in there, it makes me paranoid). So, can I just encapsulate the wire tube/insulation in aluminum foil? With it being a plastic tube and having the cotton wrap it can't get hot enough to burn the foil, right? Thanks Oliver Mueller-Heubach groundhogging@mac.com
