This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.
This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?
Just post some stuff and don't spam.

Asbestos is an awesome material, until you break it apart and the dust enters your lungs. Before that, asbestos is actually safe to use. So depending on how the pipe looks like, you could still use it.
Asbestos is pretty soft, I'd be worried about damaging it when cleaning. Though that's the stoner in me who uses metal tools to clean her pipes, I'm sure there are softer tools, perhaps... Pipe cleaners?
I was thinking that pipe had asbestos inside, with some more normal material on top.
I prefer fiberglass insulation
