gasket size

[gotbags-10]

starting a vertical cabinet build. I was wondering what size fiberglass gasket I should go with? 3/8, 1/2 Also how much does it typically compress when you shut the doors?

Are you looking to insulate your build?  Where do you want to put the fiberglass?

i found some 3/8 flat stove gasket. i hoping it works better than the round stuff i tried last year. it fell off :(

the 3/8 round was more than enough to keep the heat in

yeah planning on inch frame, 12 gauge inner skin with 22 gauge outer and 1" mineral wool insulation so i was going to use the 3/8 fiberglass rope to seal the doors. Sound good?
