Flue liner hole

[Vic99]

Developed a small hole where my T pipe from the stove connects with a flex liner. It's not hard to get to it. Figured I'd just attach a metal tape that's rated for high heat. 3M had a flue tape tape rated to 600 F that was not for use with wood stoves.

Any advice on what I should use?

I'd use furnace cement, depending on the size of the hole...

If the hole is larger than a finger I would take some liner scrap and make a patch larger than the hole. Gently predrill the corners, lather up the hole with stove cement, then apply the patch and use stainless pop rivets to keep it in place.

Another way is to lather the hole with furnace cement and then screw a very short stainless steel screw into the hole. The brush will pass right by a screw like it isn't there. However you do it, wet the surface of the liner before applying the furnace cement and then cure it with a small newspaper fire or cardboard fire.
