    Hi,

    The bottom of my stove rope has come loose. Its the weather for lighting fires. What would happen if I super glued it back on. I dont have any stove glue ? Would it suffice ?

    Thanks

    I would imagine that the stove glue would contain some sort of fire retardant. Thecsuper glue does not and might actually be quite flammable.

    Traditionally waterglass, sodium silicate, is used to stick fire rope, but thats so old school I had a hard time finding much with google but the first commercial product I could find was http://www.stoveshop.ie/home/4491-thermotite-glass-adhesive-125ml.html which I've seen in a lot of builders merchants. If you can get sodium silicate crystals you can mix up your own with water.

    You’ll have to clean the old glue residue before you apply new glue (I used a flat head screwdriver). In the end I just replaced the whole rope as other bits started coming loose.

    If the rope gets old and wears out it will often get over compressed and drop out . I've never actually needed to use any glue when replacing a rope simply because the right size of new rope is a tight fit in the door groove.
