Due to the nature Amosite (Grunerite) - Brown asbestos and Crocidolite - Blue asbestos, namley that they are Amphiboles, they don't like water. For this reason, to wet the fibres when disturbed, you need to add something to the water to break the surface tension, generally washing-up liquid can be used, there are commercial products available from specialist suppliers. needless to say, to prevent the spreed or inhalation of asbestos, it should always be wetted if disturbed, but don't put too much on.
