Why start a new post

Thanks for that, started a new thread cos the last one is 2 pages long and working its way down the list and as such is less likely to catch the eye as an "older" thread. I am going to rake out the loose powdery old fire cement, I will see if a rope seal has been fitted as I clean down to it, if the rope seal is there I will re seal with fire cement on top of it, if no rope is fitted I will have to source some as some spare would come in handy if the maintenence door seal is u/s ....cheers

I am looking for some aluminium tape to wrap around a flue pipe join on my oil fired boiler flue, theres none locally so I will have to purchase online as my nearest shops are 95 miles away. Theres lots for sale on Ebay listed as "Aluminium Duct tape with a max heat resistance of 180 degrees" I dont think they are suitable, What max temperature should I be looking at. Thanks in anticipation
