Alternative to stove cement?

[nola mike]

Is there such a thing? Ideally I'd love some sort of semi-flexible cement like RTV for use in the stove. The joints at the air manifold in my 602 are failing yet again. It doesn't take a lot of knocking to break it loose. Unfortunately, the tiny firebox makes it inevitable that I'm going to hit it occasionally. Just did this 2 years ago (?). I'd like a better solution...

High temp RTV - 600 Deg. F. - will hold a door gasket on a plated stove door.
I don't see why it wouldn't work in the seams of your 602.
If you need to remove it in the future, you'll probably need a grinder.

This is for the stove interior. I'd need at least 1k'. I've been looking but haven't seen anything malleable that withstands those temps

Looked at that. Looks like it cures hard. Ended up just using stove cement again. Applied a bunch of it and then smooshed the manifold to the baffle before bolting. Hopefully that will spread it out. Also had a bolt broken towards the rear, which was causing the manifold to sag. Was able to drill it out and replace. And we're back online.

Check a refractory supplier out and get some blue ram.we used it to patch ladles that held 3100° molten steel

I looked for the same thing. Never found it.
