I am using high temperature sealant 1200c on my stove but it gives off a bluish smoke. I followed instructions and let it cure for 24 hrs. The smoke is coming from the top plate join to the stove pipe

Hi! I don't have a problem with my back boiler boiling! I have a 4k squirrel Stove. I run 28 mm pipe in a circuit along the whole length of the boat With four rads attached.
