    Rutland and imperial suck. They get nice and hard and when you throw the heat to them they crack and fall off. How about high temp silicone?

    Right where I want to be.
    I've used refractory cement with the same result. I suppose you could try Hi-temp silicone, but where will you be using it?

    High temp silicone is only good to 600* F...so may only last for a while, depending on how hard you run.
    I like Meeco Red Devil furnace cement myself...but even that won't work the best sealing pipe seams.
    Why do you need to seal it up, pipe fit poorly?

    I bought the Rural King brand, and although it suggests 24 hours before putting any heat to it (which I observed and followed), it is way better than Rutland. Very loose consistency tho, so a little challenging to apply.

    I've had good luck so far with Rutland but I kneaded the heck out of the tube.
