Review: A good kit with everything you need - Great gasket kit, has everything you need to get the job done right and it’s a quality product. Fixed my door and griddle seals in my Vermont castings stove and now it’s as good as new .. just do it
Review: Easy to install - I saw a few reviews that the tube is hard to use, or its hard to apply. One, the hardest part of applying is seeing what idiot replaced the gasket on your stove last. It was probably you, sorry, but I bought a home where the previous owner I don't think ever replaced the gasket so it was a mess and/or missing. First thing you need to massage the tube to ensure any water/liquids that might have left the epoxy are mixed back in. Don't need to go crazy just rub it between your hands and squish it a lot for a while, I spent like five minutes or less. Next, chisel out all the old gasket, and wipe down the channels with a solvent if you can. If you don't have the right tools you can use a screwdriver or a cold chisel.. just be careful you're chipping off gasket and not beating a tool INTO the cast iron (it'll break). Measure the channels using the right size gasket for the spot (doors are biggest, griddle is next, windows are smallest diameter). The fiberglass stretches, don't pull it taught as you measure, let it lay loose in the channel to measure you can always trim again. Fiberglass is a PITA to trim when woven so I used big wire snips. If you have a bit of striping or painter's tape you can wrap the spot you're going to trim and cut it so the ends don't fray. Now, cut a small bit angled off the end of the epoxy tube (cut less, you can always cut a little bit more later). It will take pretty good strength to squeeze it out- this part sucks, basically either roll the top of the tube to help apply pressure or just mash the bottom of the tube towards the nozzle with your palm as you apply. Make a continuous 1/8" bead (that's the manual instructions) and lay the gasket on top. Easiest to do with the doors/griddle off (just lift them up). Put them back on the stove but don't close any of them- take parchment or wax paper and lay sheets inside the doors and under the griddle before closing just in case the epoxy leaks through and accidentally bonds anything closed. You can then close them with the parchment paper over the channels. Wait an hour before firing the stove up. It might be 24 hours but the instructions are in the package. Not hard, did it in like 20 minutes.
