I got to thinking last night, about the big stove questions of life You know because these stoves aren't made anymore, well most of em, it means we have to "make do and mend" most of the time I thought maybe people could put here any ideas for anything you have used in the repair of your stoves that has replaced the original part 8-[ For example I used some fibreglass braiding made for around oven doors, to make a wick for my turm sport which worked a treat Plus any ideas for makeshift tools
I scavenge pieces of titanium and stainless aircraft tubing. Using a Dremmel tool, squaring off one end and sharpening the other of a comvenient length makes for some good tools for cutting viton gaskets.
