How to remove or cut nails on asbestos wall?

[Beginner20]

Hello,

I need to paint an entire house, and there are a few nails on asbestos walls that I want to remove/cut/cover to improve their aesthetics.

Do you know what the best ways to emove/cut/cover nails on the asbestos walls safely?

Thank you

Hello @Beginner20 

I don't recommend removing the nails or agitating the surface of your asbestos panel. I suggest engaging the services of an asbestos specialist and they will be able to help you on how to make your asbestos wall safe. Asbestos is a health hazard so its best to let the professionals handle it. 

If you have any other questions we can help with, please let us know.
