Heater renovation

[Dominic]

Hi folks

I'm planning on renovating the heater shortly.
The actual mechanics work properly, the only real problem is that the seals are all shot. Screen or Car setting gives a blast of air from the front of the heater control box.
Does anyone have any recommendation as to what to use for a seal?

Thanks

Stick-on draught seal strip should work. The type where you peel off a paper backing.

D'you reckon that would stand up to the hot environment Roy?

I used 'Armourflex' pipe insulation, you can cut the correct thickness and size from it. I think it is basically dense foam.

Think so Dom! It's not THAT hot.

I'll give it a try - I need to get some draught seal anyway for the workshop door... varnishing a violin with an icy draught blowing dust onto it isn't a good way of working!
