That's a bummer it didn't seal Pogo it seems I let the Indian Head cure next to my wood stove at least a week before I put fuel in the tank and I use the same thickness gaskets from my local auto parts store they have 4 sizes I stock them all and I load up the screws as well..once I button them up and set by the stove and cure...they never leak or hasn't yet anyway
I don't think the problem was the sealer at all, but rather that I was expecting too much out of it trying rescue a gasket that was basically shot. Was probably a bit impatient in the drying time as well, but the bottle didn't exactly specify a week by the wood burner as the drying time, either.:hmm3grin2orange: I certainly would have given it another shot if I had any seeping at the seam with the new gasket, but it seems fine with no sealer for now, so I'm not tempting fate any further and am just gonna leave it as is!
But if it ends up leaking? I'll just fire up the wood burner early this year and try again!
Thanks.
