I found some 600F RTV at a pretty good price. |

That is a good price for Room Temperature Vulcanizing. They probably get you on the shipping.

So, I got 8 tubes for 53 and change. I've decided to attach the bottom of my heater to the concrete floor with silicon. I tore up what brick I already laid down and am starting over this weekend. I've also decided to use more than just clay and sand as mortar. I've read quite a bit about concrete and temps. Masonry mass areas aren't going to see temps high enough to have a real negligible effect on standard mortar except thermal cycle cracking. The area just outside the riser exhaust is not one of those areas and, needs to be treated more as if it is part of the core IE: refractory materials. |

Are you using silicone strait or mixing it with the sand? Are you going to use it for the building up or just the floor attachment? As a mechanic, I can tell you that silicone last a very long time and stays flexible for years with a tight grip and is difficult to remove from metal. Not sure how well it does to brick though. I use permatex ultra black at work, it is one of the best for use on cars but pricey $$$$ -Gadget |

...I've decided to attach the bottom of my heater to the concrete floor with silicon. Instead of gravity? Not being cheeky, just asking. |
