Rick,
Home Depot lists it's 1/4 inch cement board as "ceramic tile
backerboard" No. 220002, model 220090. You may be able to order on-line
and have it delivered to your local store or ask the service counter
person to special order it for you. Or you might look around a see if
you can find some USG (U S Gypsum) "Fiberock Aqua-Tough". It is a
gypsum based (as opposed to a portland cement based) 1/4 inch thick
product that more closely, IMHO, simulates the original asbestos. Can
be cut with a standard saber/skill saw. Left some outside for over two
years and appears to hold up to the weather real well. You might check
with tile suppliers and installers if you can't find either material at
a building supply store.

Subject: [Healeys] Heat Shield Material
This is a question specifically for Canadian listers. Does anyone know
of a
source for a suitable substitute for asbestos heat shield material? I
got some
material a few years back and made new shields but it wasn't waterproof
and
disintegrated fairly quickly. I decided to try a cement board like the
Hardie
backerboard suggested a number of times by US listers. The problem is
that I
can only find it in 1/2" thickness. I've checked with Home Hardware,
Home
Depot and a number of other building supply dealers. None of these
suppliers
can locate cement board in anything but 1/2" thickness in Canada.
Thanks for any suggestions
