Hob worktop sealant

It is possible to scrape it off with a knife and use it again you know, so keep it all in a plastic for the new hob.

It sounds like a Sealant that is for Heat Resistant uses?

I had an oven door (Creda Reflection) come loose from its fittings within a couple of years of purchase. To call and check the problem there would have been a minimum charge of £65ish. Taking a closer look, it was apparent that apart from a couple of flimsy hinges the main method of connection was a black pliable adhesive.

After a lot of searching I found "Ambersil 1008A" described as "Engineering Adhesive Sealant" this "cures at room temperature and remains flexible from -60 to 300 degrees C".

Ambersil are in Bridgewater tel 01278 727234

I bought a small tube locally (Poole area) for less than £10.

Edges of hobs shouldn't get all that hot. I'd be inclined to set it on a bead of silicone sealant.

That's exactly what I've been advised to do by two kitchen fitter friends, and what I will do.

Cheers for the other replys.

S'what I did round our (Zanussi gas on glass) hob. Works fine.

Sort of, it's a specialist sealant made by or at least retailed by Bostick in the past. It used to be sold as four strands of about a metre and a bit long sandwiched betwen two sheets of greaseproof paper. I think it's related to Bostick Blu-tack in some way.

It's appeal to me was that it was much easier to get a neat edge on than silicon, and it was almost invisible when it was in place.
