Re: Thread sealant cure

The cure time is as short as you need it to be to get the heat on.

The sealant is in the root of the threads.If the threads dont leak, the oil cant get to where the sealant is.

Re: Beckett AF Oil Furnace Help

@Cino You could stuff some newspaper in the combustion chamber and light it. I would have a fire extinguisher handy. And the fire dept on speed dial.

You may or may not have any liquid in the chamber but don't let that fool you any fire brick or insulation will absorb the oil and there could be a substantial amount in there.

If in doubt don't attempt to light it.
