Hello
Well I finally got the new supposedly OEM door gasket from the Manufacturer Canadian Comfort Industries in Alberta Canada.
What a disaster I had!!
The guy I talked to was very pleasant and very helpful in guiding me to the correct fire brick back panel for the Bay View stove. However the parts were shipped from Minnesota and what ever door gasket they found and packed into the box was way too short!! So getting a door gasket from the manufacturer is NOT the best way to go!!
The Meeco High Temp Gasket Adhesive is very drippy like the old styrene cement for plastic models. It may be high temp and recommended for stoves but it is so hard to use I personally DO NOT recommend it!!
So I went the same route as Xena did and got the RTV out. With an inexpensive caulking gun it is the absolute best way to go!!
With the caulking gun just put the RTV on the door and it does not drip at all!!
I started the rope gasket at the lower left hand corner so the joint would not be near the door handle where it opens. I also started the width of the rope gasket higher than the corner so when I came back I could just go straight to the corner and cut it with very sharp scissors!
Then just close the door and open it to make sure it works and close it again for over an hour to dry!!
That is all
