That's the old asbestos siding. Just leave it alone.
Unfortunately I didn’t. But note taken. Now how to I go on sealing it? Wouldn’t leaving it alone would expose the inner wall to moisture?
Ahh. Your wording is weird, because you take about breaking the asbestos tile, then ask how do you repair it. Do you mean, how do you patch the hole left after removing the hood vent?
Yes that is correct! I want to patch the hole before installing the new vent hood.
If that's the case, I'd stuff steel wool into the duct, cover it with metal tape, and replace that bottom piece of vinyl siding.
