Questions & Answers

What happens if the wall compresses at 1/4" what is the amount of compression? The gap between my dial and the cover is 1/8" One sixteenth inch). This is for a steel door made from UL90. ?

In my case, I used it to cover my wood stove. You can compress it to fit into It filled all of the small and irregular openings on my stove, which is a 1987 model, so I'm very pleased with it.

It looks like a product that would work well for sealing around the door of my charcoal smoker. Was just wondering if this product would work for those applications?

There is probably no better product for that application than this one. The rope as sealed with their sealant has worked like a charm around our oven door, since the original seals kept falling off. I've used it around our kitchen oven door because the original seals kept falling off and eventually were lost. Here are some tips to help you.

The Vermont Castings wood stoves use a medium density gasket, 5/16" in thickness. Can you tell me what the density rating is?

Gaskets from our company have a low friction coefficient A rating of density.

What about the area that is actually 5/8 inches across? Will the rope fill in and flatten it?

No problem. It'll flatten and fit just fine. The size may be the right one for your application. As far as this product is concerned, it stands at 1/4 (4/16) - 20 The width is only 1/16" wide if you flatten it, which would mean that it would be a full inch wide. I would prefer if it were to flatten or stretch wider in practice. The rope should be 1/2-inch thick if you can find one If you want to make sure that you are using the exact size, you could use the exact size instead of this. However, it is hard to say whether that rope and this one would be noticeable, or if you would even notice. It is recommended that you do not stretch the rope when you attach it, so it can be compressed flat by the weight of the lid. As a rule, this should fill in any gaps/deviations/imperfections you have in the lid and base (which is completely irrelevant if you are repairing something that was designed with extremely tight tolerances, but could be significant if you are repairing something that is My best regards.

For replacing glass, it is easy to use
5/5

The interface is simple and intuitive. There was no indication of the type of seal that was originally used on my old wood stove for the missing glass. The reason I bought this was because it was stretchy. I was pleasantly surprised with how well it worked and how easy it was By using a screwdriver and some paper towels, I scraped the old surface several times and wiped it with alcohol twice or three times. Then I wrapped this rope around with a thin layer of sealant and a thin layer of gasket sealant. The towed vehicle stayed put during the turns and did so without a problem. I had both glass pieces installed, as well as a new rope seal, within an hour of receiving my order. I ordered my onedayglass a half hour later and enjoyed a fire, after which I ordered my drink. They sell ceramic glass that can be cut to odd sizes for the ceramic frames. Since I had the frames I was able to determine my exact size. I had to cut the corners of each piece of my stove with a notched edge in Sadly, the original spare part wasn't available as this was an old stove. Glass is a popular material, and this website presented numerous possibilities. The only steps I had to take were to select the clipped corners, then select that I only had one clipped corner, and then carefully measure the requested areas. It says to allow for 1/16th of an inch plus 1/16 of an inch minus and the tips specify that I should allow for 1/32 on every edge (1/16th each side), so I made my measurements to allow for 1/16th no matter which way it actually I managed to get it to work. someone will be able to fix their stove with that.

This is an easy-to-install product
5/5

Everything seems to be going well so far. During the week of 11/24/14, this rope gasket was used for installing stove door gaskets. The installation was simple. This rope gasket was long enough to allow for trimming to be done, and it fit properly. The following information pertains to the installation process The old gasket and cement were removed by using a screwdriver from the stove door. By wire brushing the old cement out of the door channel and wiping it with a wet cloth, all the old cement has been removed. The gasket cement (77E) 2 was used for the stove. BLACK" is a hot tip. Cut the tip of the cement tube's nozzle so the end could be opened, and squeezed a generous amount of cement (*3/4 of the channel full) all around the door frame. In order to implement the rope gasket, lay it in the channel on top of the cement and press it in with a hand. Then, once the gasket was in place, cut it to length and tucked the two ends together so that there is no gap left between the ends. After letting sit overnight, you can remove. I re-applied for the job the next day As soon as the new gasket was installed on the stove, I started a small fire by placing a piece of newspaper between the gasket and the opening of the stove so that if the cement was not completely dry, the gasket would not stick to the stove. Everything seems to be going well so far.

smoke from leaking into the room
5/5

The solution I needed to stop a smoke leak in an older wood heater is exactly what I needed. The sealant that came with it was very easy to apply. The gasket was installed in just a few minutes, and the next time I switched on the heater, there was no unwanted smoke. I had never attempted anything like this before, but the next time I fired the heater, there was no unnecessary smoke. This product is something I would buy.

This is excellent
5/5

Wow, did I spend a lot of time searching specialty fireplace and stove stores for something like this! I never even thought of Amazon, so what the heck was I thinking? I was able to re-use this item without any problems The gasket from a 1932 Aga stove made of anthracite. I think I would have enjoyed having bought two bags instead, but the Rutland cement worked fine, too. The tube has a volume of 3 oz. There were a lot of things I bought.

Because it was 3/4 inch wide, I wasn't happy with the 'stretch' factor
3/5

Because it was 3/4 inch wide, I wasn't happy with the 'stretch' factor. The gasket rope I used for my stove windows came out sloppy, so I purchased 1/4" gasket rope. This gasket rope is probably more suitable One sixteenth of an inch can make a significant difference in quality of seal, especially when the glass clips are used to hold over the gasket with little room for adjustment. In terms of 5/16" use, I would buy it again, but for 1/4" I would not repeat my purchase.

It is great to have this kit at home
5/5

Due to the nature of the situation. I use this as the heart of my custom-built outdoor barrel stove furnace to heat my house from the outside! Rope gaskets were used to seal a number of gaps on my appliance during installation. I have been heating my home with free wood that I get from the forest. It is great to have this kit at home. Because I am outdoors, I am able to burn pine, soft woods, and other trees I don't need to use for building It is a toxic wood, yet it is a burnable wood! Take a look at the photos if you want to see how I built it.

This may or may not have been the case, but the rope itself worked and doesn't seem to have been damaged
5/5

My charcoal grill had a gap in the gasket rope, so I bought it to fill it in. In order to rest it on the base of the grill I attached it to the lid and let the weight of the lid hold it in place. I had hoped it would work like this! Having this rope has made all the difference between when I didn't have it and when I did. As the smoke does not escape through the gap between the lid and the base, I am actually able to smoke. At first, you will notice the rope sheds when you remove it from the package. It means a lot to me! Although I tried shaking it, rubbing it, swinging it, and any other idea I could come up with, I was unable to get rid of the strands that were coming off Thus, I attached the silicone gasket to the lid of my grill (using the Permatex 81878 Ultra Copper Maximum Temperature RTV Silicone Gasket Maker) and allowed it to dry for two full days before I started cooking. (Silicon needs only 24 hours to dry). My grill was lit by putting some lighter fluid on the rope. As a result of the fire, all the strands that were shedding were removed. Here we are. This may or may not have been the case, but the rope itself worked and doesn't seem to have been damaged. It was impossible for me to eat food with rope strands in it.
