how do I seal this roof flashing around the pipe?
I have 11 inch piping going through this 8" flashing. I tried buying 10" inch flashing but it was too big in the diameter. I had to cut alittle bit as you can tell from the picture to get the pipe through. what would would be the best thing to use this to seal this? I already have a storm collar to put over it once it is sealed.
From the picture I haven't install it yet. It is sitting on my carpet ready to install but I need something to seal it. I was thinking of using high temperature flue tape or foil tape.
Here is a link to what i want to use
Amazon.com: 3M 2113NA High Temperature Flue Tape, 15-Foot Roll: Home Improvement
Or should I just buy foil tape? Or should I use hi temp silicone sealant? Or do you suggest something else?
Thanks for your help

You are missing a rain collar for the pipe. It goes just above your funky cuts and repels water out and away from the pipe and onto the collar base. Look into this link to see a picture of what I am talking about. Stainless Steel Chimney Liner Storm collar - Chimney Liner Pro

OK, if you want to use the high heat tape on the cuts, that is fine. My first impression is that you wanted to "seal" it that way. Good that you have the storm collar. Even once it is installed and clamped tightly, it won't hurt to put a bead of sealant around where it meets the pipe. That way all the water will shed off. Glad you're getting up there. I don't do roof ventures.

Chandler, the trick is to never look down. That way there's no problem. Simple.
I learned to enjoy doing anything at heights when I was 6 years old. My Ma was a crossing guard, and took me and my older sister by the hand every morning to walk the RR tracks from our house to her work location. It had a trestle about 70' or 80' above a steep ravine, no handrails, and very slippery creosote ties (especially when wet).
Her simple advice to never look down still works for me. My favorite DOT bridge to inspect while doing bridges in NM was the Rio Grande Gorge bridge near Taos, 623' above the water. It was also a favorite for suicide jumpers.
