Onewheeler Posted October 20, 2020 Report Share Posted October 20, 2020 I'm fitting a new rope seal to the door of my Boatman stove. Would one normally add some cement or high temperature mastic to hold it in place? Martin/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Martin/ You can get the correct glue to do this, but But I've found with mine that if the rope groove it scraped and cleaned out properly the rope will stay put on its own and will soon get impregnated with a bit of goo from the fire anyway which will hold it there.

pete.i Posted October 20, 2020 Report Share Posted October 20, 2020 Yes it should be glued in and, usually the rope comes with the glue or at least the place you bought the rope from should have given you choice of buying the glue with the rope. Whichever it needs to be glued in with the correct glue otherwise it WILL fall out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonesthenuke Posted October 20, 2020 Report Share Posted October 20, 2020 I use silicone, just enough to hold it. Once fired it happily stays in place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Onewheeler Posted October 20, 2020 Author Report Share Posted October 20, 2020 Ta chaps or whatever you identify as. I'll find some of the high temperature mastic stuff. There's a tube somewhere in the garage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tracy D'arth Posted October 20, 2020 Report Share Posted October 20, 2020 I suspect that the glue is isinglass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She needs to try the products of Marble Beers, Manchester (well, Salford now, actually). The company has never used isinglass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ex Brummie Posted October 20, 2020 Report Share Posted October 20, 2020 Screwfix No Nonsense external leak sealer is cheaper, and keeps when reclosed. I use it to restick Aga lid seals. It's also useful in many other instances, like sealing leaks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
