liner down small - split in the insulation.

[rob bennett]

I dropped the liner down chimney with the extra fancy insulation from homesaver on it. I forced the liner to jog past the smoke shelf and got it into position. Then I looked up and saw that I ripped the foil on the insulation on the outside bend. I panicked thinking that I might have split the liner as well but it is fine.

So I am off to the hardward store to get some more heavy duty foil tape to patch the rip. Rats. I am going to have to pull up the stainless metal sock, tape it up and then pull it retie the sock again. Sound like a good plan, or do I need to worry some more?

I wouldnt worry any more than you already are.

miniscule problem, prob not even worth removing the liner to go fix, less you risk more damage...

Pull it and add a coupler... No foil tape will be good enough for that heat

It is just a tear in the foil wrap on the insulation Rainer. Good grief. You spent two years here telling people they didn't even need insulation at all.
