Last week in Boulder, I had a customer's old clay liner start crumbling apart as soon as my brush touched it.

I had to stop the clean, explain the safety risk, and spent an hour on the phone with my supplier to get a liner quote for them by the end of the day, so has anyone else had a liner just disintegrate on contact like that?

Yeah, that "crumbling apart as soon as my brush touched it" thing is a nightmare. My buddy had a similar job where the whole bottom of an old clay liner just turned to dust when he started. It was like trying to clean a sandcastle. He ended up having to vacuum out a pile of red clay sludge and the homeowner was just standing there in shock. Total mess and it killed his whole schedule for the day.

Saw a forum post about old clay liners turning to powder, sounds like @spencerl32's buddy's issue.
