Stanbroil Graphite Impregnated Fiberglass Rope Seal and High Temperature Cement Gasket Kit Replacement for Wood Stoves - 3/4" x 84"

The rope is nice and easy to trim after glueing the rope in position. I watched a YouTube presentation of someone replacing a rope and this really helped. The only reason that I give this four stars is because the glue tube actually broke open. The tube is way too thin in order to kneed the glue out of the tube. It is also very thick and had a hard time coming out of the tube. After cracking the tube I put it on a paper towel and just squeezed hard and used a paint brush to apply the glue to the area where the rope was to go. In thin application the glue also dries very quickly. It was fine to use a paintbrush and just know that I would throw the paint brush away. It helped it application. Kind of a waste since I had to throw the glue away but it was fine because I knew I wouldn't need it again. The Rope is still glued in place so I guess it was enough.

Graphite impregnated fiberglass rope seal and high temp cement gasket kit. Husband says the glue had a hole in it. He didn't need the glue - but it was useless had he needed it. Eh. So the gasket works as it should for his use.  Having said all of this, I never hesitate to update my reviews should new info seem useful. All of my reviews reflect my honest, personal experience with the reviewed item - your experience may be different. I am not influenced by any outside source. I receive/accept NO free products or discounts that are not available to all shoppers- ever. For some reason our shopper ranks are no longer visible - so, to give you a little more info about me, I am a top 50 reviewer (#30 the highest rank achieved). Those numbers used to fluctuate over time - up and down but I noticed that they stopped updating regularly - perhaps to phase them out. It's a shame because it did help you see who has been around the longest and who is a trustworthy reviewer.  I've been doing reviews for over 25 years with Amazon - nearly 6,000 reviews posted, viewed over 50,000 times, and over 24,000 likes. I pay for all my stuff, just like you do.

I ordered for a quadrafire 1000. It should have been 1/2" but it was 3/4". Too large for my stove. Glue was not well mixed and dripped. Had to replace and buy locally.

My PelPro PP130 had deteriorated in performance (efficiency, clean combustion) imperceptibly until I caught on that cinching the door had reached a limit. This kit (gasket and adhesive) was the answer. I found that the old gasket adhesive was best removed with a wire brush chucked in a drill, leaving a pristine surface for the new adhesive and gasket. Efficiency restored, and fewer glass cleanups

The gasket supplied was exactly what I expected / wanted.The supplied adhesive was worse than useless:No instructions on the tube or in the box. Sure "it's just glue who needs instructions?" Well, there's surface preparation, product preparation, setup (open) time, cure time, special curing steps, preparation steps, and last but not least - CLEANUP.After reading other user comments and visiting the manufacturers web site I thought I had enough information to proceed. I kneaded the tube to mix the contents, trimmed the spout and opened the tube. Nothing comes out; I found a plug of partially cured silicone blocking the neck, cleared the plug and started over.Now it does come out - in spurts and globs. Wipe up, start over. More kneading, more fiddling etc. I tried spreading the globs with my (wet) fingertip but the globs of silicone just slid around and stained my fingers black (no cleanup instructions).I basically spent about 2-hours and was no further ahead than when I started. Plus, it looks like I'll have to live with black fingertips for a couple days.A tube of Name Brand high temperature silicone from the local hardware store did the trick with no problems and took approximately 15-minutes to install.My suggestion: By all means use the gaskets, they appear to be high quality and are easy to work with BUT buy the bare gasket and some name brand adhesive to install it with.Hope this helps,Cheers
