    the 66/68 series chamber kits come with what looks like brown putty in 1/4 inch strips ---we call it dogsh%^ i use a 1/4 ceramic silica rope found in any good heating supply house --and either use a spray adhesive or a high temp silicone to hold it in the sealing groove

    -its high temperature rope gasket --tell them what you are using it for and they should know or tell them you are looking for , SSC brand part #HTR 470A--1/4" high temp rope 10ft./// honestly if they don't know they are not a heating supply house , maybe they don't like to deal with the general public
