High temp tape

[dhungy]

If anyone has followed my struggles with venting, from leaks to melted tape. Well i went on a search for tape that would withstand the heat of the stove. Today i found 3M aluminum high temp rated up to 600 degrees. Anyone with any experience with this product?

It's what I use to tape up my T cleanout cap. Works great. Think I got it at a local True Value store.

Good stuff.

My experience with this stuff started with my install last winter of a used Whitfield Advantage.

I purchased the new type pellet vent with the built in seals. GRRRRRRREEEEEEEAAAAT no more silicone sloppy mess to seal the pipe.

Wrong, the two connections iniside the house leaked wisps of smoke just as soon as I fired the stove off.

T went to the ACE hardware and got a roll of that 3M high temp tape and wrapped each joint carefully.


SWEEEEEEET looks good and best of all, no more leaks. Nice part is that if you need to get the pipe apart, you can simply warm the tape with a hair drier and peel it off.


This tape makes a real good extra measure of a leak free pipe system.

Good stuff, first time I used it was when I put my Revolution in, Since then I've found a lot of other uses for it. Not quite as versatile as duct tape, but better for some things, patching screen windows, for instance.
