What are glass retainer clips made of?
Do you have an DIY caulking tips?
Can the furnace cement be removed after it has dried?
Our glass retainer clips are made of high strength spring steel.
Our cartridges fit into a standard caulking gun. For clean application, cut cartridge tip near the end, at approx 45 degree angle.
Surface must be clean, dry, and free of debris. Have some damp rags or a roll of paper towels within reach. Put down newspaper in case of carpet drip.
To lay a professional bead, hold the caulking gun at apx 45 degrees. Spin the cartridge tube so the longest part of your tip is on the top side of the gun.
Now gently squeeze the gun just a bit, and begin to drag a bead starting at the highest point. Only squeeze the gun if your bead is too small. Find a rhythm :)
For a clean job, when laying a bead, "A little dab will do ya!" You can always go back and add more silicone.
After applying and working the silicone, let it cure for at least 30 minutes (at room temperature) before using your appliance.
For this application. we recommend a high temperature silicone.
Try using a flat head screwdriver to clean it up.
We would recommend a different product. Our furnace cement is more appropriate for sealing and bonding metal-to-metal on wood burning stoves.
Yes, this paint can be used. We also have fire box spray paint that comes in stain black that is formulated just for gas appliances.
Before using either of these paints in your firebox, double check to make sure the pilot is shut-off.
