sticking rope door sealer back on woodburner

Filey

Hello all

What is recommended for re-sticking in to the channel in the door the asbestos type rope stuff which seals it. (It's not actually asbestos rope of course but it looks like it ) Tried superglue but not really satisfactory.

Thanks folks.

Where you bought your fire rope from will also stock the fixative. ..sheila

I've always used 'water glass' ......... more commonly used for preserving eggs! Look at the 'refractory use' heading here :-

- but it's not commonly stocked now and a proprietary glue such as this is more readily available :-

When I was little, we used to store eggs from our chickens in Isinglass. The eggs were in a bucket up in the bathroom and I can remember hating to be sent up to bring down some eggs on a saucer. They were all slimy and rolled about so you had to hold them down. It never occurred to my to take a cereal bowl, which would have made the job much easier.
