Gasket help...

[Joey]

Opened the door on my new insert last night, and discovered a coal must have jumped out on the the gasket and put a good burn in it. It is a bit frayed, but it is still sealing at this point. Is there anything I can do to repair a small tear in my gasket??? I dont mind buying a new one,,but the stove is only a few months old. Thanx in advance,,,this forum is fantastic. Happy Burning....Joey

Try some high temp pematex. Put some in the channel and push in the frayed parts. Put a piece of aluminum foil between the repair on the door and the stove and shut the door for 24 hrs. Peel off the foil and your repaired. Did it a year and a half ago and its still good.

Now thats a good fix, thanks for the tip Motorhead3. I dont think a coal hitting the gasket would burn it. They just get frayed on the ends sometimes

Just wanted to say Thanx, motorhead...tried your repair trick and it worked. The only problem I had is that some of the tin foil stuck to the ht Permatex and I couldnt get it off Other then that,,,the gasket is fine. Thanx again.
