It's solid, not sticky and when I touch it, it crumbles into a fine powder. Looking above, it looks like there's more around the joint of the vent (the smaller pipe going straight up, not the larger ducts that are going throughout the house). Does that make sense? I am sorry I'm not explaining this better.
