as considering just using the silicone just to hold the glass and fastening the rope to door at same time i have about 1/4" overlap on metal with glass

Hi, I recently bought this 'silicone sealant' stuff and the product is more like a decorators chaulk in consistency not like silicone at all it's less sticky with a grainy texture, here it is up to 1300 deg for less than you have it for. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/161121842594?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1439.l2648 hope this helps, regards.

thankyou for the info it means i have to create a holder for the glass

if it had of been like the silicone stuff i wouldnt need a holder for the glass as that stuff holds glass and only a stanley knife is needed to cut the silicone away from any surface

Hi, I think you would have to use the rope type seal as this fire proof sealant product cures to a hard fire cement type seal, I do not think it would give any flexibility with the different expansion experienced between glass and steel, in my opinion, a good seal could not be maintained. In my window fitting experience I found that silicone (building type) has a "melting point" after which it shrinks then bursts into flame, probably not the effect you are looking for. Regards.

i had a look at the other stuff for just siliconing the glass in place its a do not use for the application so ive had to go with this type of seal for the glass for the movement of different materials of glass and metal
