Here's my before/after pics of VC Encore 2550 Refractory box repair. Local dealer gave me a section of damaged Refractory, and I just cut out the my mangled part, wetted both surfaces, and used wetted stove cement to hold it in place. The cement was the consistency of carpenters glue as I spread it.
Is it safe is the obvious #1 question.
If the repair fails, and the piece falls onto the cat, what happens then? A glowing spot on top of the stove above the hole in the Refractory, maybe?
I appreciate any advice from the more experienced woodstove rebuild folks!
