Default After removing asbestos tiles, what type of sealer should I use on concrete if I'm

gonna glue hardwood down? We want to make sure we seal in any of the remaining asbestos dust - but we'd also like it to be a water proofer so we can glue down hardwood floor a few weeks later. We're getting the masks, and we're putting plastic in the doorways and making sure we're safe while removing it - we just want to be prepared w/ the right kind of sealer and I'm not sure what kind to get. Brand names anyone?
we have not removed the asbestos yet.. we're planning the job before we start! We'd like the sealer to lock in the remaining asbestos fibers and also water proof the concrete for hardwood flooring glue down installation afterwards. we are in the humid south!

I would suggest you speak with a flooring specialist regarding any type of sealant on concrete before glue. I work at a store that sells flooring and installs. Since I don't deal with the installation process at all, I don't want to give you absolute advice on my own. However, I will tell you that we are doing a job in a large church addition with a large area of ceramic tile. The church had already used a sealant on the concrete which they had to have removed because the adhesive would not stick to the sealant. I understand your concern of sealing off asbestos dust. But, most adhesives will not adhere to sealants. Please check with a professional installer before using a sealant. Go to a flooring store, not a typical builder center. Builder centers normally contract out their installations and may not have the expert advice you need.
