    Please do yourself a big favor and search the forum for posts on "nomex." There are important details to its installation that must be understood for it to go well. Mark

    This methods works great!

    Did this myself 6 weeks ago.

    Like the pictures describe above, mask of the areas you don't want overspray to wander over to.

    Takes about an hour.

    1) Prep (removing band & top dome, scraping off old gasket, cleaning with acetone, masking off glue areas) which took 30-40 minutes
    2) application of spray adhesive and sticking on the gasket took another 10 minutes. Spray ceramic surface, wait 3 minutes, then apply gasket (don't stretch it). repeat for other dome surface.
    3) Put top dome back on to hold in place. Re-install bands.

    Then wait the full 24 hours to cure, do a low heat "empty" cook for an hour. By next day you are back in business.
