So, I restored a old T-20 mosler, added moar plate steel to it! added a nice carpet interior, added shelves with a hidden back drop that I could hide 4 rifles etc.
Well, here's where I MESSED UP! I was moving this monster with the forklift........ I didn't have it tethered It fell 3 feet onto concrette FACE DOWN!  
Good thing of the mess is that the combo dial was out, I was heading to my pick up with the forklift to take it to the locksmith! Well, I need to metal work the doors back into shape. Since the heat barrior needs to come out to make the metal right I'll need to replace the cement like heat barrior. I understand that it's some thing special that releases water vapor to help with the heat control. What is this concrette like stuff and where can I buy a short pur of it? I would imagine around 8 gallons of it for the two doors.

I was told tht the concrette in a safe has a moisture release to try to help keep the safe cool inside. No pics Sheet-rock? A lot of very cheap, low-end safes use sheet rock. Sheet rock gives off moisture to help keep it cool. But it's just average builder-grade sheet-rock, nothing special about it. I doubt your mosler had sheet-rock in it. Concrete will do just fine, if there is good insulation, you don't need something to give off water inside. Think about it, do you really want water vapor in your safe if there is a fire? I sure don't. |

Asbestos really isn't a problem unless the dust gets stirred up in the air and you're continuously exposed to it for a long time. Just be careful not to create too much dust and you'll be fine. Just the same, I'd buy and wear a full face respirator if it were me. |
