Making stoves - working with fiberglass

[Wise Old Owl]

Just discovered this for myself and if you have seen this before feel free to mention it. I don't like how some of my fiberglass cloth looses its threads and weave during installation into the stove. So I bombed it with hair spray before cutting to size and what a difference! Cutting and install is a lot easier now after the cloth dries.

Good design. . . you should also douse it with hairspray right before youu light it. . .

Hey, it looks the size of an owl pellet.

Do dry owl pellets make good fire starters?

What's the red stuff against the inside wall? Threads/fibers, epoxy? Can't make it out.

.........isn't that the small shaving cream can you mentioned in another post WOO? How tall is it?

Zelph (the one above...) did put a warning out for possible problems handling fiberglass.
Trouble is that we often do things without conscious knowledge, for example rubbing our eyes and poking our nose, so we definitely need to be alert when working with this kind of stuff.

One inch and 1/4 ? I have no idea if owl pellets are fire starters

I have no idea how that got stuck on the sides the first time. Something I have to work on.
