It most likely is not asbestos However, for peace of mind, you can always have it tested by a laboratory. Our lab would charge about $20 for that. It might vary in your area.

However, it definately sounds to be just relatively-harmless fiberglass. It doesn’t have any health issues other than irritation. We’d recommend wearing a dust mask, gloves, safety goggles and long sleeves. Set up a fan in the window to exhaust any fiberglass that gets airborne. Remove the fiberglass and bag it and it can be thrown out as regular construction debris.

Stacey, why are you asking this? You start out by saying that it is fiberglass. Corning Glass has made it pink for a very long time, trademarked the color.

It’s fiberglass. The worst it will do is make you itch.

it doesn’t sound like asbestos. Asbestos isn’t in fiberglass from my understanding. Good thing you checked it out though. If it were, you would leave it alone… do not do anything to it to make particles escape into the air…. this means you’ll breath it in…. don’t worry though, it doesn’t sound or even look like asbestos (no asbestos in fiberglass)

It is NOT asbestos! It is fiberglass insulation. Asbestos was outlawed long before 1979. Asbestos is NOT pink, but fiberglass insulation has been pink for ages.
