My oven door has come apart.
It has two plastic locating brackets that are held onto the glass panel using what looks like silicone sealant. They've come off...
I did try sticking back with Araldite with no success. Can anyone reccomend a better adhesive for the job. Is silicone sealant suitable??

Dear simon:
I've used it in ozone test chambers (which have both heat and ozone). The heat tiles on the space shuttle are/were held on with silicone sealant (don't know if that is such a "hot" product endorsement). ;>)
Let it set overnight before you challenge it, and make sure both surfaces are very clean.

there is a high temperature red silicone glue used to glue gaskets around the doors of airtight woodstoves. check with a stove place for it. anton
I glued the door gasket on our convection oven back together with plain old GE silicone caulk several years ago. It's still working.

Others have mentioned regular and high temp silicones. If you are looking for a high temp epoxy, JBWeld, which can be found at most auto parts stores for under $5, will go to 600F.
