So...the felt seal on the Halo of Heat is NLA, and the only ones out there are $35-$38. At an inch wide, that makes the felt over $1200 a yard. I think not. I went to Michael’s, found some coordinating 100% Wool Felt and felting needles and made my own. If Volvoguy87 can find the high heat glue, it’s getting installed tonight. $15 in materials and enough to make 4 seals.

One trick I did with my avocado DG606 that was converted to a DG306 is I used a long piece of felt weather stripping to help make a good seal around the heating shroud and use a big paper clip to hold it together and so far it’s held up since 2019 and it’s that piece of felt that would otherwise be glued to retain a little tension on the 3” felt seal that helps direct the air through the burner and air mixer assembly.
