Adhesive for Door Gasket

[velvetfoot]

I'm about to replace the door gasket on my wood insert. It's been a while, but I think I've used the red silicone adhesive in the past with good results. The typical cement that you see in hardware stores associated with gasket replacement seems to be the hard silica stuff, although admittedly I didn't look close.

I'm thinking I should stick with the high temp (although the door probably gets hotter) silicone.

What do you think?

Thanks.

Automotive style high temp rtv. “Ultra black”.

Red or Black RTV will work fine. I am noticing more stores and stove shops now have black Rutland RTV on the rack.

Thanks. I did another cruise of the hardware store. They had the red silicone sealant, good to 600F. The stuff that came with the rope gasket comes in a small flexible tube which says it's good to 2000F. I'll see what the stove guy says tomorrow when I buy the 7/8" gasket that the hardware store didn't carry.

Many new stoves are now using RTV for the door gasket. It works better.
