If i understand you right, you,ve sealed off the back flue collar and cut a hole on the top of the stove and fastened a
fabricated flue collar on top. I don't know if this set-up is safe or if it will even draft properly. I suggest you contact Vermont Castings.

i used foil tape at my collar joint.
wrap it around, smooth it in.

you'd think, its just regular foil tape.
the tape i used was the foil tape that came with the flue liner insulation so i used it.
its been 4 months and its still on, knock on wood. still glued to the collar and pipe. wrapped it 3 times so its glues to itself also.
i'd rather replace the tape every year or so rather then pull my collar/pipe apart... it was hard enough lining everyting up and getting it in.

One would think, but I still have the stickers on my double wall stovepipe stuck on my flue collar adapter.
Either it is some sort of heat resistant glue or my stove doesn't burn all that hot. :bug:
