Door Gasket Rope - round vs. tape/flat - please clarify

[JTG]

Stove Newbie here -

I need to replace the rope gasket on my Quadra-Fire 41i-ACC Wood Insert door (low density, 5/8" x 6.5', graphite impregnated). I'm a bit confused because I'm seeing/reading about round rope vs flat rope (sometimes referred to as rope 'tape' ??). Which do I need? (Rutland rope kits w/sealant seem to be flat rope. Per/foot rope off a spool seems to be round - so confused.) Of course, looking at what I have today, it's flat but I don't remember if it started off that way when I first bought the stove, or it's always been like that.

You'll want round gasket for the door seal. Usually flat gasket with sealant is for the glass.

Thanks for confirming with those links - it's what I had bookmarked also. I was concerned because looking at the Rutland kit in the store, the rope seems somewhat flattened and not nicely rounded, so I wasn't quite sure. Some folks were referring to this style as 'Rope Tape' in the comments and felt it didn't seal as well as the more rounded, gasket ropes.
