Nomex gasket Question
I replaced my original gasket after my 3rd cook on the egg - pizza cook killed it at 600
BGE cust service sent me a nomex free of charge. I changed it per instructions and had a successful rib (Car Wash Mike's recipe) and chicken cook.
However, the lid never aligned correctly after the nomex install eventhough I moved, centered, recentered the dome multiple times.
Today I followed the video instruction posted on this forum to align the dome and finally after 2 hours of work I gave up. I spoke with BGE and they believe that there is something wrong my hinge or bands. Luckily I am getting them replaced (my egg is 1 month old).
Issue is that with all the moving the dome, aligning etc after a pizza cook tonight i noticed it sheared off the gasket from the rear - probably all the friction loosened the advesive.
If i wait till the BGE cools can I prep the surface with acetone and reapply 3M adhesive or do I need another gasket?
This nomex is pretty dense - how about just leaving it on the dome only? It seems like the folks who use a rutland do it that way without issue. How thick/dense is the Nomex compared to the Rutland?
Thanks for any assistance

It couldn't hurt to try and re-glue if it isn't damaged.I just looked at pieces I have of both the Nomex and Rutland. I'd say the Rutland is about one and a half times the thickness of the nomex.If you have to do it all over again, put a Rutland on and you won't have to worry about it again.Packerland, Wisconsin

Ace hardware. Rutland also known as stove gasket.

Contact RRP at ron.pat@comcast.net, he has Rutland in bulk and will send you the length you need at cost.
Great guy to deal with ...
