I wonder how well it will come off when you need to take the stove pipe apart.

Well I been searching and it seems like furnace cement is the way to go, the silicone sealant is rated too low.

spark, I am using both silicone and furnace cement and they both work fine. I used silicone on the pipes for the X33 this year, it is exposed daily to a trip up to 500F on warmup, cruises at 400F or so, and there is no degradation in the silicone. It is still clear and flexible and sealing the joints.

Another good product is 3M Fireblock FB136. Last time I bought it (at HD a couple years ago) it was about half the price of furnace cement for the same size.

Thanks I will look for those products when I get a chance.
 
Any initial smell when using any of the above mentioned products? Thanks
