Soot coming out blower on VF170FPI Insert after cleanning chimney

[Mtnyota]

I installed a vistaflame VF1700FPI insert with oval Duravent liner this last February. The duravent connected to the top of the stove with this adapter:

Problem is after cleaning I got some soot blowing out the blower opening on the top of the stove. The only way i can think that this could occur is that the soot is landing on the top of the stove inside the 30* adapter and falling through the gap around the flue collar. Has anyone run into this issue before? Any solutions? The wife does not approve of the black soot blown in the living room.

A full bead of RTV Silicone between the adapter & the top of your insert is probably the BEST solution...

The flue collar won't get to hot for RTV? The high temp stuff i have says 650*F
