How to Replace Wood Stove Door Rope Gasket..FARM VLOG
What happens here
The presenter begins by applying a bead of heat-resistant adhesive into the cleaned door channel. He then presses the new rope gasket firmly into the channel, working his way around the door frame. He quickly discovers that the adhesive does not provide an immediate strong hold, causing the rope to fall out of the channel. To remedy this, he uses several clamps (including quick-release clamps and vice grips) to secure the rope gasket in place, applying even pressure around the perimeter of the door. He emphasizes that the instructions provided with the kit do not mention needing clamps, highlighting this as a crucial step for successful installation. He removes the stove door from its hinges to make the process easier and achieve a better angle for clamping.
Goal: The heat-resistant adhesive is applied to the clean channel, and the new rope gasket is carefully pressed into place. Due to the adhesive's weak initial hold, clamps are essential to keep the gasket secure.
