question on glue

Unknown · February 2009

Hi All
question on felt gasket?
Any recommendations on what type of glue to use if felt gasket comes a little loose?
BGE says elmers but I am thinking a High temp
glue would make more sense. any suggestions?

3M Super 77 is what I've seen used by Eggers with gasket problems...I think Home Depot has it.

Spray the 3M 77 into a jar or cup you are going to throw away and then apply it with a throw away brush. That way you won't get overspray all over your egg that will pick up any dust, etc. It's available at any hardware store.

Elmers works fine for a small area,if you're doing the whole gasket use 777.

I use Permatex Hi-Temp silicon - available at any auto parts store.

can the glue be used in cold weather? My gasket came loose yesterday.

Check the temperature range on the packaging.

I too have used the Permatex Hi-Temp silicon also. I was cooking skirt steaks the other day at 650* and the gasket failed again. I think my error was not removing the original double sided tape from the gasket before I re-glued it in place. I think this tape is the culprit to all the problems with gaskets and wonder if anything will stick to it at high temps.

Take the felt gasket off and buy a nomex replacement. This would be a long term fix not temporary.
