Notches or Holes, clip or not to clip?

I would think ( and its just a hunch) that the "risk of reaction" would be greatest when the fire cement was wet, but reduce greatly once it was it was dry?

My previous home had a wood burner so I've used it quite a bit in its correct capacity but would never have thought of using it instead of polyfilla! Interesting thread!

Hello Pete E,

What a good point !

I am sure that you are correct about the Fire Cement being `reactive` when wet and then not when it has dried.

When dry there should be nothing to enable a `chemical reaction` between the Fire Cement and the Cable insulation.

In hindsight / after reading your comments it should have been more obvious to me - but I had not given any thought about the Fire Cement becoming `inert` when it dried.

Thanks for your reply Pete.

Regards,

Chris
