How is it you affix the "whizzer" to the paper cone??

Thanks,
Dave

Hi Dave,

Elmer's carpenters glue. Spread a bead around the base of the whizzer
and affix to the perimeter of the dust cap (soft glue NOT recommended). Be sure the whizzer isn't glued to the speaker cone itself and add a small weight on the whizzer while the glue sets to create a good and uniform bond.

It's easy afterward to cut the whizzer and replace the dust cap if you ever change your mind.
