Rocksett for pellet stove cracked glass - new product

[Mountaingal]

Has anyone used ( new to the market ) "Rocksett" (high-temp adhesive) on cracked pellet stove ceramic glass?

Cracked ceramic glass needs to be replaced.

That wasn't the question. Thanx for your concern anyway.

That product is not intended for that purpose. In the literature on their website somebody asked if a crack in a ceramic cooktop could be fixed with it and the manufacturer's answer was no. A ceramic cooktop and the glass in a pellet stove are essentially the same material.

You probably won't believe this however I have run a austroflamme 1993 pellet stove for three years with a cracked glass. Am thinking of getting replaced for sure. Just curious; and also I hear that the glass in the pellet stove doesn't get that ridiculously hot. Thanx. I guess I just thought it would be worth a try seeing as tho it is non toxic as well. Thanx guys!

Never run it unattended of course. Keep a close eye on it. Have backup fuels.

An engineer stated that using rocksett would probably make the glass crack more due to differences in the thermal expansion factor "most certainly".
