Stove is 12 years old, I can see a spot at the top of the door where the glass isn't dirty, so I am assuming air is being pulled in in that spot.

I see both doors are 3/8 gaskets. Question is are you using High temp RTV or an actual stove glue when replacing these gaskets?

I will probably just do both at the same time when I do them, so I am thinking I need about 20 feet of material.

Thanks for the input.
 
Same as Arc said…I’ve done both on a few P61A’s both work well….some kits come with the fast setting glue.
 
I hate the glue that comes in the kits - I can never get it to squeeze out - LOL. I've used both stove cement and the high temp RTV. both work fine.

Thank you all. I will probably go with the RTV since I already have one almost full tube and pick up a second just in case.
 
Hello
I use the clear high temp silicone RTV - It works the best and looks the best. It comes in a tube or cartridge. :-)
