Thread: Heated proof silicone to fix oven door's glass

Have a good look around bunnings. I got some to do a repair on our oven there. Just went to the shed and found the tube (near impossible task at the moment). Selleys Silicone 401 industrial grade engineering adhesive sealer. Withstands constant 205 C. We pump our oven up over this regularly and so far it has held up for at least 12 months.

I got some from an appliance spare parts supplier near us. If you search the yellow pages you should find one.

Thanks Sapling I will try to look for it again at Bunnings I beievle it would be based on a aisle where all silicone are located.

Could you please post the name of it if you still have it
Thanks

I think it was Queensland Appliance Spares. They are in Mansfield (Brisbane)

Sorry for the confusion I meant what is the name of the glue/silicone that you had bought it form Queensland Appliance Spares

Thanks

Ah, that I will have to look up tonight.

Zillah,

The company that you highlight on eBay UK also sells on eBay.com, and the correct heat proof silicone for ovens on their own website and will ship to Australia.

Take care with using the wrong type of silicone. Not only does it not go to the temperatures required, but it may give off noxious fumes - although Sapling is still alive!

The problem with higher temperatures is that it will harden the adhesive over time. The adhesive needs to remain flexible, so that the expansion and contraction of the glass and metal as the oven heats and cools does not break the join.

Sorry, but I keep forgetting to look at home for this stuff. I took a quick google though, and I am 90% certain it was Dow Corning 732 in Clear. The packaging is the same shade of green that I recall, and it was certainly just a number for the name of it. Also, I bought it in a small tube rather than a gun tube, which this stuff is available in.

Hope that helps.

Is this one in the link below ?

It's probably the same stuff, but the one I got looked like this: SILASTIC RTV SEALANTS from Aircraft Spruce

It's a smaller tube, but I expect it's the same goop inside

The Dow Corning 732 is only good for 205 degrees C (with short peaks to 230 degrees). This will not be hot enough for a domestic oven.

Data sheet for 732:

Just confirming that it was indeed Dow COrning 732 that was sold to me. It was sold by an appliance spares place that mostly specialises in Westinghouse/Whirlpool/CHef/Simpson etc. I used it on a Westinghouse oven and it stood up fine for a year or two until we got rid of that oven in a kitchen remodel.
