Rutland Stove Gasket Cement, 2.3-Ounce Tube, Black

The Rutland Stove Gasket Cement is designed to provide a solid solution for securing and sealing the gaskets on wood stoves. Overall, customer feedback indicates that the cement excels in its adhesive properties, effectively holding gaskets in place once applied. Users appreciate the durable bonding capability of the product, essential for maintaining efficient stove operation. Despite its effectiveness, some customers report challenges in achieving a neat application. The application process can be tricky due to the tube design, which may not provide the best control for creating a smooth bead in tight spaces. A common workaround is to warm the tube in the sun to improve the flow of the cement, as well as employing tools to help evenly distribute the adhesive once applied. One notable downside mentioned by customers is the lengthy curing time. The product requires up to 12 hours to fully cure before being subjected to high temperatures, which can be inconvenient for users needing immediate results during the heating season. Some have managed to work around this by using the stove shortly after application, but this carries the risk of not having the cement cure properly. In summary, while the Rutland Stove Gasket Cement does live up to its promise of creating a strong seal for stove gaskets, customers are advised to prepare for a potentially challenging application process and a lengthy curing time. **
