I know silicone is used to make heat resistant tools for the kitchen, is regular silicone caulk OK for caulking the chimney and storm collar?
Also, how do you install flashing? Do you pop the nails out of the shingles in an area the width of your flashing, slide the flashing under the shingles, then pop the nails back in? This would put the flashing under all the shingles. (Then you just leave 3-4" of flashing resting on the shingles on the downhill side? I could use some pointers here.
Thanks everyone, I'm looking forward to the first fire in two weeks!
