hi I just purchased a 1982 vc resolute with wood kit and coal kit. the seals were all shot and it had a lot of surface rust. so I disassembled it and cleaned it all up I order a seal kit and two tubes a furnace cement

My questions is
1 is two tubes enough To reasonably the whole stove

2 does any one have words of wisdom to share should I cement the fire back to the back first or assemble the box then install the back

I think it turned out great. Waiting on new bolts for the pipe plate and a new thermostat
