gasquet replacement

Posts: 12
A few years ago there was a rumor floating around about a new gasquet replacement kit that was made of Teflon or some other material than the original. What ever became of that? Is there such a thing.

I believe you are referring to the Nomex gasket which BGE "rolled out" a couple years ago. Don't visit here often, huh? :laugh:Re-gasketing America one yard at a time.

Been way too busy. Does BGE sell them over the internet? Are they better than the other one?
Thanks -
yes and some dealers are now carrying them - initially there were problems with the adhesive backing and then they suggested a 3M glue. Mine were early failures and I never went back to them, but others here like it.

thanks RRP,
I went to the search engine & really got an eye full of discussion on this. Sorry to bother you befor I do my research. I'm coachable though. -
Skyhwak - if you go with Nomex make sure you preshrink extensively before apply it to the Egg. I think that was my main problem first time around. I also recommend buying a cheap paint to apply the 3M adhesive to the gasket. Spray an ample amount into a disposable cup or pan and then apply with the paint brush.
-
or eliminate the middle step...what I mean is the 3M is rubber cement mixed with alcohol and pressurized so it is in an aerosol can. Spraying it into a cup and then quickly using a paint brush to apply it before it hardens has never made sense to me. Why not just start with a can or jar of rubber cement and brush it on. That's a lot cheaper and quicker besides.Re-gasketing America one yard at a time.
