Hey guys, I am replacing a cracked lower fireback on my 1980 VC Defiant II and decided to tear it down and reseal the whole thing. I got this Rutland furnace cement but noticed it says best for gaps 1/8” or smaller. The beads of stuff I chipped out of the channels were much larger than 1/8”. Is there some thing more suited for this rebuild? I want to do it right the first time. Thanks so much!
