Tieing rope gasket

[mr2autoxr]

I have a PE Summit that I cleaned last weekend. The stove is only about 2 months old and I have very little build-up, just some flaky stuff at the cap.

Well I accidently split my baffle gasket in two doing the cleaing and need to replace. I've read I can do the 3/8" rope gasket and will.

I just need to know how the ends tie together. I've seen pictures but it still isn't clear to me.

Thanks

I have never tied mine, not sure if your stove is different, I always cut to length then put down the black gasket cement then push down the gasket and butt the two ends together dab a little extra cement over the two ends, never had an issue with mine.

You may want to review some posts by "hogwildz". He is our resident summit gasket pro. Or if you yell loud enough, he may find this thread.

No need to tie it. As mellow stated, just cement it down.
