    Open dome shot? Or is it not cured yet? Looks good from here.

    You are correct in letting it cure properly. I mean it will last you for years so why rush the manufacturers suggested 24 hour cure period? Granted it seems dry to the touch in an hour, but the cure is a chemical process - not a heat generated one. BtW that excess Permatex can easily be trimmed with a sharp utility knife after the cure. Some people get impatient or seem to want it to appear perfect right then and instead create themselves additional problems by smearing the uncured adhesive.

    Yes sir. Your included instructions said to wait 24 hours so that's what I'm going to do. Again thanks for all your help.

    Welcome to the Rutland family brother. I have it on the mini and large. I also think it looks better than the standard gasket.

    Look forward to the cooks and keep up the good work.

    Thank you brother. My vertical cabinet has the Rutland rope gasket on both doors. Seems to be the real deal. Will have the egg back in action tomorrow night!

    Be sure to "scrunch" the gasket before installing it.  It will be noticably wider that it was when you bought it.

    At 7:03pm my gasket will have cured for 24 hours. Is it good to start cooking or do I need to do some type of burn off in your estimate? Thanks.

    I scrunched it back as I was installing it. Hope I did it right. We will see in a few hours!

    you're fine. Only a handful of people will claim they smell anything while starting their first fire after application, but even if they do it will be very short! Nothing to worry about anyway!

    @SGH --- carried away is an understatement! I recommend that a bed of Permatex be laid down using a toothed trowel or at least buttered onto the edge and then press the Rutland into it. Tiny beads of Permatex may ooze out on top, but you have a large amount all over your gasket! That Permatex will be rock hard and that won't give the Rutland much or any spring. I honestly don't have a clue how well that gasket is going to stand up for you...sorry

    Thanks man. Going to give it a try here shortly. If it doesn't do good I will redo it. If it works will leave it as is. Again thanks.

    I was worried about under gluing it. I'm kind of messed up in that sense.

    I haven't. My big vertical came with the Rutland Rope gasket so I thought I would go with the Rutland on my egg as well.

    So far the Rutland has performed flawlessly. No bad smell or anything.
