Just run a bead of the mastic round the door and let it go off then compress it when the door closes. If it has a door catch it will compress the rope as it tensions up.

Correct, ive seen what Julian uses on the stoves he makes. It's exactly what you need, I'm sure he'll be along shortly to offer assistance

Just caught up after a week away. You can get flat stove rope designed for just your purpose, held on with fire rope glue. If that's still too thick, get stove window seal, they sell it by the meter, it's 3mm thick before you compress it and about 10mm wide, probably compressed ceramic.

No idea where it came from, but the guy I got it from (25 plus years ago) worked for Briggs.

when i first went there the shipwrights had a vast store of timber that had been there for years and there was lots of old worthys that would get an audience round tt he bench and tell us great stories from the early days it wasnt an easy life for sure ,cold dirty and noisy and managers with bowler hats that despised organised labour either a mix of very proud and capable tradesmen who would carry the lesser learned workers or the guys that would be experts at dossing around and did the sweepies or coupons /a great comradeship prevailed and of course you had to carry a local boilermakers card which after an interview an a show of hands might be procured at least it was a measure of your skill authenticity
