When I was cleaning my chimney a couple of weeks ago, I noticed that the piece of sheet metal that holds the liner in place (i.e., covers the masonry chimney) was loose. In other words, there was a sealant that appeared orange in color between the sheet metal cover and the top of the masonry chimney. Any ideas what this sealant was? Or what could I use to reseal the sheet metal back to the top of the masonry chimney?

Sounds like it might have been some type of RTV silicone. Regular silicone will do. Be sure surfaces are clean and dry. Use a generous amount.
Thanks folks. I'll give it a try this upcoming Wednesday (weather here is supposed to be 65 and sunny)...
