Will the heat from the stove keep the tar warm or let it keep from drying solid?

Also I would agree with rice, tar is the answer

Can tar take the heat? I would think tar in the case of a exhaust pipe would still be pretty warm coming off a wood burning stove. It seems that the heat would keep the tar pretty gooey and not allow it to harden.

if the pipe is properly insulated it should not heat up to the point that it melts the tar. Chimney pipes need to be insulated.

If its a B-vent style pipe, where its an internal pipe then an air gap, then the outer pipe to which he seals it then tar would be fine. But if its just a heavy galvanized pipe then he would still have heat to deal with.

I didn't think those were allowed any longer without some kind of insulator like a ceramic barrier between the pipe and the wood.

We use Red RTV sealant on any joint piping we deal with when we are sealing joints in power vent piping, or any type of exhaust where heat is an issue. As far as how it is as a water sealant I'm not sure.

This stuff looks to be heat resistant as well as water.

He's going through a corrugated metal roof.
