Hi all
Picked up a used egg for a couple hundred and am getting it back up to speed. Only “flaw” on it is the chip on the rim. It appears to be from improper installation or removal of the bands but just my guess. I still think the gasket would make a good seal on the flat rim as there is at least half of the flat still intact.
I’d like to fill to prevent it from spreading. What is best for this application? Gasket cement? Some kind of epoxy or permatex? Also does it matter that i need to repair painted and unpainted areas?
Thanks! Happy egging.

Yep, gasket will do the trick
Get a small container of fireplace cement, fill the chips, and get BGE paint from their website. Should work pretty well.
I wouldn’t mess with it. the gasket will seal in this area just fine. you have a greater chance at making it worse than better if you start messing with it.
Sounds like you need a rim job.
