Steve, I would convey to my inspectors that they not "fly off the handle" on this one. Also, I'm not sure it is worth sending out to a lab for analysis, its pretty apparent as to what it is. I would just consider this board a "fly in the ointment", scrap it and chalk it up to experience. Best of Luck!!
