gasket redux

Posts: 883
The gasket on my new replacement dome is falling off. Is it possible to reglue it? About one third of the gasket is hanging. How do I prep, and what should I use for adhesive? I am looking around for Rutland and so far unsuccessful. What is the name of the gasket material that is self adhesive, and where can I get it? This egg is pretty new but the story is getting old. I am not freaking out this time because it's happened twice on my new eggs, now on a new dome. You'd think BGE would find a fix for this problem. It seems the other ceramic cookers aren't having this trouble.

Use some 3M super 77 ahesive and it should stay put.

Gaskets are over rated.

Patty -- I put a Rutland on my Egg on Saturday and did a 700 F pizza cook on Sunday -- no worse for the wear. Installation was a breeze, thanks to some [url="http://www.eggheadforum.com/index.php?option=com_simpleboard&func=view&id=941146&catid=1#"]friendly forum folks[/url].
I think RRP sells the gasket kits, but I got mine at Ace Hardware.
I note that Ranger Ray advocates a method wherein the RTV material is used for the gasket by itself. The method seems sound, but I elected to go Rutland because I am so far out of alignment right now that I didn't want to form a gasket to my current geometry. -
PattyO, check your mail.
