Heat Resistant Sealant 1300 C - 310ml

Product Information

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. Good stuff. Does exactly what it says on the tin, well the tube at least. Easy to apply, and stops all vapour leaks.”– Robert 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. 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.

Let dry before proceeding. 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.

Never leave a fire unattended in the wood stove. Make sure all embers are extinguished before leaving the house or going to bed. 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. 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. NOTE: Make sure to use a silicone caulk that is designed for high temperatures, as other types of caulking may not be able to withstand the extreme heat from the stove.Gr8Fires on How this living room was transformed with a media wall featuring the Ezee Glow Celestial Built-In Electric Fire CAUTION: Do not use any type of paint or other coating over the silicone sealant! Doing so will create an obstacle that prevents future oxygen from entering your stove. This can cause carbon monoxide poisoning and death. 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. 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.
