We have the "top" off the Model 224ACL (Federal Airtight) and have found that the sealant is breaking up all around the metal plating. The stove has a catalytic converter, and that was what we were originally looking at. Then noticed the gasket had come off the damper (by-pass gate) causing it not to seal. That's when we removed the top plate of the stove to get to the damper.

Question: What do we use to seal around the metal plates and to seal the "top" back after we replace the gasket on the damper?
