Ha ! - I bought a Empyre 175 boiler a few years ago- there was no silicone on the gasket from the factory-( raw gasket exposed ) replaced the rope twice- using a air powered-automotive"zip-gun" for mufflers to remove the gasket . ( what a pain to remove) Now I can use "hi-temp silicone" to put between the rope and the creosote- I am going to put a layer of "anti-seize" inside where the rope goes to keep it from rusting,- install the rope, put the silicone on, wait 24 hours, and hope for a few years of not thinking of replacing the gasket THANKS ! ! !
Only video I have seen where you put the silicone on the outside. Doesn’t work every good! Better off putting it in the groove and then putting gasket it!!
Stock the come with silicone over gasket . Never an issue . Just replaced it today this way
where can i buy a 1'1/4 seal rope
So no silicone between the rope and door

What type of silicone
Do not put silicone on the rope. Creates gaps and the door will not seal right. I know from experience
