Hi,
I recently picked up an COS as I have been interested in trying one out for a little while. I know that it needs some work to seal so got hold of some stove tape and silicone sealant.
After starting to put the unit together I am having some doubts about the materials that I am using. I have put this tape between the two halves of the firebox, but seeing as my hands are fairly irritated from the fibres I am reluctant to use it to seal the doors. (In fact I am wondering if I should take it out from the firebox!)

This has been linked in another thread and has been used in another build. Would I be right in thinking that this might be more suitable for the doors with less loose fibres or is this the same stuff, just white?

Maybe the silicone is the better solution?
Does anyone have experience with these tapes?
Thanks
Matt
