Hello,

I have recently noticed a crack in the artex ceiling above my bed. It’s an old home so I’m concerned about asbestos. I’ve read various threads to say it’s not very very dangerous. But nonetheless I’m thinking of just painting over the crack in order to seal it temporarily. I won’t be living there long, so I don’t have to do anything too permanent.

My question is - is painting over it (mask less) safe? Or will the act of painting it release fibres? Not sure whether painting it or leaving it is worse ?
