Just did a gasket replacement on the doors and griddle. I did this decades ago and don't remember having any problems. This time completely different. Ordered The proper size gaskets form one of the companies on line. Came with Rutland gasket cement. It was soft and pliable, but no matter what I couldn't squeeze it out of the tube until I cut the end right down to the top of the tube. And even then it was difficult to squeeze out. So now the only way to apply it is by taking a flat blade screwdriver and spreading it in the groove on the doors. It seemed to work. But maybe too much of the gasket is glued and not flexible enough to close the doors. I know the latch can be adjusted but there is too much of a gap, the doors just don't fit right. Also the gasket is not like the original rope, this is more like fiberglass and black in color. The more you trim the lose ends the more it unravels. I think I have to start over. Anyone suggest where to get something easy to work with for the gasket and especially the cement? Heating season is here and I'm in a bind. I won't even bring up the crappy thermostat replacement being sold.
