Not used fire cement before, the stuff I have is "thermo setting resins and inorganic fillers (sodium silicate)" Do I have to apply and heat in a shortish time frame, or can I allow it to dry out and then heat at a later date, say 24 hours or so later? I've let a bit go off in the sun, and it is hard but I guess is unlikely to be very strong. I'd like to assemble the flue gradually rather than be stressed out and risk a bodge. Do you think I can get a join hot enough with a heat gun for it to be strong enough to withstand the inevitable flexing as other bits are fitted and before the final heavo to pop the pipe in the stove?
