Looking for 1/16" x 1/2 inch woven fibreglass gasket tape.

[Edmonchuck]

I am sorry if this is the wrong area to post this...but I am searching for 1/16" thick by 1/2 inch wide door gasket tape. I can find it in 1" widths, but the 1/2" width seems to only go as low as 1/8" thick.

Any leads would be appreciated. PS - must ship to or be in Canada.

What application is it needed for?

Here's an older thread dealing with the same issue:

Sourcing 1/2" flat rope gasket for ash pan or cover?

Hello Breckwells, Pelpros, Hudson River, Magnum and other stoves all have ash pans that need a good seal so the infamous #2 status light does not flash. My supplier has run out of the standard whit 1/2" wide rope gasket that I use with RTV for ash pan gaskets. It worked well and was thick...

1/8" will probably compress to 1/16"...

That was my thought too. If you want to hurry up the process take a strip and put it in a vice between two wood blocks.

Thanks for the replies. So far, there is nothing avail in even 1/8" x 1/2". Everyone seems to be moving to 5/8" wide as the smallest. That brings up a question of longevity. WIth the new materials, will the wear faster if there is a portion that can be touched by direct flame?

What is the application for this thin gasket? Where is it being used?

 

[Edmonchuck]

The door rail of an older fireplace. There is a 1.5 mm gap between the door surface and the mating surface on the firebox.

Wonder if door glass tape would work for that location. Jotul and others use something like this. It wraps around the glass and is often adhesive on one side.
Or maybe a thin, even bead of RTV?

This is 1/16", might need to cut it in half, lengthwise.
