I am replacing my Meridian on Friday. I will put it on Kijiji and see if there is a buyer otherwise, if there are no takers for the whole stove, you might want the complete door? PM me if so. I am in East Ontario about 1.5 hours east of Toronto. Given the nature of the item I would not want to ship it.
Interesting. I don’t know if I can get that in Canada. I used to be in the industrial boiler business and a friend gave me two 50# bags of castable refractory to try to use in mine. I ended up not using it because of the California cancer warnings on the bag, and the fact that, to get a good mix, you probably have to use the whole bag at once (due to settling) and I needed maybe a tenth of the contents. But your comments reminded me that when we used to have, for example, superheater tubes that penetrated the refractory lining in a large boiler we would wrap them in cardboard so that the cement cast around them wouldn’t bind to them, it would burn off in service, but the small gap allowed them to expand and contract unimpeded by the surrounding mass. Something like that might work on the glass, if convinced that is the problem: maybe put a layer of waxed paper between the glass and caulking. The paper will not stick because of the wax perhaps, and then burn away after the caulking sets and the door is back in use.
I know it's been years but I just moved into a place with a meridian. It's in really good condition except for that the inner liner on the glass door has deteriorated. I was hoping to reseal it but I cannot find CFC. Did you ever have any luck with this, or can anyone comment on something I can get that will work? Thanks!
Hey, any luck with this? I’m in the same boat. The glass on my stove cracked and I’m looking for the right material to seal it. Considering gasketing the glass instead, similar to other stoves.
I don't think this would repair cracked glass. I was lucky enough that a manufacturer of CFC was about 40 minutes from my place. I got a tube of CFC from them.
