My fireplace has a piece 4” sheet metal as a smoke guard. It was nailed into the brick from the inside, but the brick on one side broke and that side is hanging. I’m concerned that if I try to drill another Hoke, I’ll just make the problem worse with more broken brick. (I can prop it up against the side of the opening, but it keeps falling and I’m worried the brick on the other side will break. ).
A local fireplace installer suggested high-heat silicon adhesive. All I’ve been able to find is high heat silicon sealant, which has a long drying time. I don’t have any way to clamp the guard up for the necessary time.
Is there another product I can use? I can’t find anything designated high heat silicon adhesive. Maybe a quick setting epoxy?
