I finally replaced the door gasket on my Jotul F3CB by using the Imperial Gasket Adhesive that came in the gasket kit. I did a good job cleaning out the old cement that had previously been used, installed the new gasket and closed the door to let it set up.
The instructions said to fire the stove with a low fire to cure the adhesive, but it was 95 degrees at the time and has been a couple weeks without doing this curing. Is not curing it within 12 hours going to have an affect? I'm thinking it dried in the first 12 hours and I can just cure it in the next week or two when I will probably have my first small fire here in Virginia.
