Does anybody remember this stuff?

You bet, and I'd like to know what happened to it, too. It even
*smelled like* Elmer's glue.

I miss good ol' asbestos fluff & mud, too, very useful sh&t, screw the

Lagged thousands of feet of piping at sea aboard rustbuckets for greedy
MEBA-scale overtime pay, nicest OT job in the engineroom, including
fitting & sewing the stuff first. (What ELSE do you as a licensee
making runs to the Far East in a 120F engineroom besides fix, weld &
rebuild all the **** you can for the biggest payoffbg?)
