best sealant for the hottest fires?

[ging]

as the title suggests, can any one recommend best selants for fires that get very hot?

[MATTMOSS]

I only know of the sealant that they use for fires that don't get hot.

[MATTMOSS]

Sorry.

 

I don't know the brand names but I have used two types of fire sealant,

one that dries hard and one that doesn't set and stays flexible.

The flexible one I find is best because it bseems to last longer the other dries up, cracks and falls out.

Hope you find that useful.

Seal what? Where the flue meets the outlet. Have you checked the fire rope? If you can't get fire cement you can use exhaust putty as already mentioned. Should you be playing?

That's a bit patronising, if you don't play- you don't learn.

 

 

If you kill yourself and your family that's another story.

No malice intended. What you or I do in our own homes has nothing to do with me. Would you expect a tradesman to have tickets? Fires,HETAS, same thing. It's one thing to slap in a bit of sealant but what if it needs something else?

Yes Paul I agree, this isn't the best scenario to comment as I did.

Personally I try and fix allsorts of things, some that maybe beyond me.

But I love having a go and usually succeed and learn on the way.

If you are not sure, get a professional.

 

ps,

 

I hope what you do in your own home has something to do with you.

Dont use Fire Cement, it wil crack and fall out in time.

 

Suggest you use Flue seal, its what most pro installers use when installing flue systems. Cross between silicone sealant and fire cement, it does cure but should be good from memory to 1200 deg C, should be available by the cartridge from your local good stove shop, or me if all else fails.
