I am changing my skins to Stainless. Does anyone know where I can get the type gasket material Greenwood uses? I used high temp silicone originally but it is a pain to remove. Greenwood's gasket looks much easier to work with. I checked local plumbing/heating wholesalers and automotive stores with no luck. I also called a few Greenwood dealers but was unable to reach a real person... Thanks!

Here's a mfg. in your home state-- www.auburnmfg.com . I've never dealt with them but I stumbled upon it looking for the site I've been to before-- www.auburn-mfg.com . I was looking for the same thing when I wanted to re-skin my junker Adobe. I looked at the silicone strip w/ adhesive. This would make life much easier for the routine cleanings. Yes the hi-temp silicone is awful to remove w/o bending skins and it is horrible to prep the skins for reattaching. Auburn-Mfg in Conn. was very easy to talk to and answered any questions I had. I almost pulled the trigger on replacing my door seals with solid silicone rubber but Dale from Econoburn provided me with new gasket material and cement. Maybe next year--seems the silicone would last much longer. There's a lot to choose from....... Good luck!
 
Thank You for the reply. It seems to me that material would be a bit more common but I can't find anything like it in my town.
