FAQs
What type of rope is compatible with Stovax Thermic Seal?
This adhesive is designed for use with standard fiberglass or ceramic rope seals typically found in stoves and fireplaces. Always use replacement ropes recommended for high-temperature applications.
How long does the adhesive take to cure?
It is recommended to allow the adhesive to cure for at least 24 hours before operating the appliance at high temperatures. Some users find a period of gentle heating after curing helps finalize the bond.
Can I use this adhesive for other stove repairs?
Stovax Thermic Seal is specifically formulated for securing rope seals in high-temperature environments. It is not intended for general stove body repairs or other materials.
How much area can I cover with a 50ml tube?
A 50ml tube is generally sufficient for resealing one stove door or a moderate section of flue system, depending on the thickness of the bead applied.
Is this product waterproof?
While it provides a heat-resistant and airtight seal, its primary function is for dry, high-temperature environments. It is not designed for constant exposure to water or damp conditions.
What is the shelf life of the Thermic Seal?
When stored correctly with the cap sealed tightly in a cool, dry place, it typically maintains its efficacy for up to two years.
Troubleshooting
Rope seal is not adhering properly.
Ensure the surface was thoroughly cleaned and dried before application. Check that sufficient adhesive was applied and that the rope was pressed firmly into it. Allow adequate curing time before exposing to heat.
Adhesive appears too thick or difficult to apply.
Ensure the product has been stored correctly. If stored in very cold conditions, allow it to reach room temperature before use. Ensure the nozzle is clear.
Visible gaps after applying rope seal.
The rope may be the wrong size or shape for the channel, or insufficient adhesive was used. Re-apply adhesive if necessary and ensure the rope fills the channel completely before it cures.
