Heat Resistant Sealant 1300 C - 310ml

Product Information

Ok, maybe I should explain further. I have a cat stove with a short section of pipe up from the stove to a 45, to a short section of pipe, to another 45, and another short section of pipe, and into a collar to a masonry flue. The draft is marginal for this stove, and I use little dabs of silicone to seal the joints in the areas of the pipe seam, where it doesn't seal very well. With that many joints, all those little seeps of cold air must be too much for it, as It definitely helps this stove. I've used Rutland for that, but found it to be a pain to apply, as well as a pain to remove during cleaning. I like the Permatex much better. Once the sealant is dry, it is time to test your stove. Turn on the heat and see if the stove is operating more efficiently than before. If you notice a difference, then congratulations! You have successfully sealed your wood stove. For obvious reasons, you will want to make sure that the stove and flue is correctly sealed before starting to use it. Any gases and smoke produced by your woodburner need to be burnt in the firebox when flammable, then make their way up your flue pipe. After you have applied the silicone sealant, let it dry completely before using your stove. Usually this will take 24-48 hours. Once it is fully cured, your stove should be much more efficient and save you money on fuel costs! Never leave a fire unattended in the wood stove. Make sure all embers are extinguished before leaving the house or going to bed.

Apply high-temperature silicone caulk around all seams and joints where pipes enter or leave the stove. You can find high-temperature silicone caulk or sealant at most hardware stores. Be sure to read the directions carefully before use, and follow all safety precautions. It is also a good idea to test the sealant on a small area of the stove first to make sure it does not damage the finish or make it difficult to open the door. The sealant can withstand temperatures up to 300°C, which makes it the ideal solution to the problems outlined above. Where can you use high temperature silicone sealant?

The solution to both those problems is silicon sealant, like the Heatmate High Temperature Silicone Sealant we sell. Why use high temperature silicone sealant? You should also have your chimney cleaned at least once a year if you use your stove regularly and/or burn dry wood that is free of paint or chemicals. If the flue has been severely damaged by creosote buildup or other factors such as corrosion from water damage, it may need to be replaced. Gr8Fires on How this living room was transformed with a media wall featuring the Ezee Glow Celestial Built-In Electric FireGood stuff. Does exactly what it says on the tin, well the tube at least. Easy to apply, and stops all vapour leaks.”– Robert Sealant also prevents creosote buildup and protects against corrosion. It is recommended to seal a wood stove at least once per year, or more often if necessary. However, some regions require that you do so on an annual basis because of local conditions that may cause rapid deterioration of your chimney. overall it was a decent unit personally i liked the acd better due to the blower but its a solid unit. if you do go with this unit i strongly recommend NOT using the heat reclaimer the unit likes a strong draw and the reclaimer would take away from that IMHO they should never be used on an EPA reburn unit, especially a cat stove. It usually only takes a matter of minutes to complete the form and in most cases a decision is instant and you can electronically sign the agreement.

No wood-burning stove installation is complete with a trusty tube of high temperature silicone sealant. In between professional cleanings, you can remove any creosote buildup on your own by using a wire brush. Be sure to wear protective gear including gloves and a face mask when doing this, as creosote is toxic if ingested. You should also avoid getting the substance on your skin, as it can cause rashes and other problems.The application that I thought would be too much for the silicone was the cast iron piece that I replaced the glass in the cat stove with. I put a bead of the silicone on the window gasket when I put it in, since I was desperate to cure the smoke seeps from this stove. I didn't have high hopes, but thought I'd give it a try. The silicone excess exposed to the interior of the firebox has degraded, but the cast iron "window" is still glued to the door after years, and no smoke seeps. Use a paint brush (or whatever type of applicator works best for you) and apply an even coat all over the stove, making sure to get into all the nooks and crannies. I have downdraft issues in the prevailing wind, and I made a custom lopsided-opening cap for that. It helped quite a bit. I'm also at 7,000' elevation, which doesn't help with draft. When the wind turns around, and puts my chimney in an updraft, everything works splendidly. However, if it isn’t properly sealed, your stove will release more air than it retains – which means more money spent on fuel! Follow these simple steps for how to seal a wood stove: The first step in sealing your wood stove is to clean the surface. Remove any dirt or debris with a damp cloth, then dry the surface completely. Make sure that the area is free of any dust or particles before you begin applying the sealant.

The sealant can be used anywhere where you need to seal a gap or joint in your stove system. This might include sealing: Protect your surfaces by covering them thoroughly with plastic or cardboard and tape off anything that you don’t want to get sealant on such as the floor, walls etc…

Why use high temperature silicone sealant?

To avoid smoke seeping into your room, you don’t want any gaps through the components of your stove system where it might get out. Equally, to avoid causing damage to your stove and get the most value from the fuel you burn, you do not want air to be able to get into your stove through such gaps and cause the appliance to operate at too high a temperature. Wood stoves can be used to heat your home and provide a pleasant atmosphere during the winter. A wood stove is not only an attractive addition to any room, but also provides a sense of coziness that you won’t find with other forms of heating. Clean the surface thoroughly using soap and water or ammonia and water (depending on what type of material your stove is made from). Let dry before proceeding.
