The stuff BeGreen posted is the stuff you want. It's a clear liquid that is very easy to apply.

I've used the rutland product begreen provided the link above, a few times, it lasts ~ 1 season then turns to a chalky white powder and releases. Is this typical? Any users of the plumberstock.com product or any other that lasts longer than one season? Or tips for a longer lasting repair?

thanks for the replies

Lasts and holds up just fine.
 
thanks browningbar. the rutland gasket "adhesive" I have used is clear, sorta thin, and then dries to white and foams a little bit out the edge when it dries. is this black product tacky, and relatively easy to apply and use?

I just read the online product specs, and the gasket "adhesive" I have used has a "service temperature" of 800 degrees

The product you use, stove and gasket cement, has a service temp of 2000 degrees.

It is tacky. Is it easy to apply? Sure. It's kind of like the combination of toothpaste and caulking. Holds up to the heat well. Anything that is inside the stove needs to be able to withstand higher temps than 800 degrees.

I once used muffler cement in a pinch and that stuck better than the RSF OEM adhesive. That said, the Rutland adhesive that comes with the replacement gasket held very well too.
 
Hi temp silicone works great. I like it much better than that cement crap. Had same thing happen, cemented gasket on, then out of the blue it fell the hell off.
Siliconed it on, its been a few years now.
 
If you get the Rutland make sure you knead it all the way home. It really seperates in the tube. You'll be squeezing along and hit a liquid patch and squirt that junk all over the place. Kneaded up it workes great. A wet paper towel smooths it out well when used for pipe and gives a nice finish.

The three shirts I have ruined due to Rutland cement spit are nodding in agreement.
