Asbestos Tile Adhesive ??

Hello....removing tiles from bathroom floor.
The house was built in 1970 and I am pretty sure they are the original tiles....underneath the tile is a black layer...see attached picture.
Is this adhesive/mastic with asbestos ?

Thanks in advance.

Underneath the old one it’s a bit of a mess...you can’t beat French artisans (I live in France)..
Some advice on how to proceed ?

Re: Leaky Stem Adapter for Shower - thread issue ??

Hi thanks..just realised not very clear in the post... Connection to valve is sound....it’s the threaded elbow that is the problem...I have used about eight turns of ptfe, the right direction and it scews up nicely...no bunching...but they both leak..one of the problems is that it is hard to tighten...

Leaky Stem Adapter for Shower - thread issue ??

Hello. Adding a new Hudson Reed shower...house in France.. It comes with two stem adapters..see pictures. No matter how hard I tighten these they leak significantly...BUT if I then remove the shower and put back the previous screw caps I only need to tighten by hand and there is no leak...wondering ...
