I remember preparing a partition wall prior to tiling it. Where there had previously been a doorway there was a panel I assumed had been faced with hardboard and painted so I began to vigorously sand it down. It seemed very resistant to sanding so I resorted to a scraper and then back to sanding before revealing enough of the surface to realise it was NOT hardboard. Even more scary than my mother’s asbestos oven mitts.
