When my sample arrived, it came in a two pound box and was shredded (not in a sheet form). <P>I'm going to write back to them for additional confirmation/documentation that it is indeed Q-Fiber. What do I do with the two pounds of fiber? Thanks.</FONT></TD></TR><TR bgcolor="#333333"><TD valign=top><FONT SIZE="2" FACE="arial, helvetica">SpaceAholic</FONT></TD><TD><FONT SIZE="2" FACE="arial, helvetica">Dispose of it/keep it out of your home (if you value your lungs): the micro-thin fibers contain similar risks to that of inhaling asbestos.</FONT></TD></TR></TABLE></td></tr></table>
