A cone crack - what is the best quick repair?
#16

Single layer of small strip(s) of tissue paper soaked in diluted Elmer's white glue (50:50) applied both sides, but just wide enough to bond the crack/tear without unduly stiffening a large area.  Also, take a cotton swap in warm water to "pre-wet" the tear edges (both sides) for a better bond the to the dry cone.

I bought contact cement today, did three layers on each side...will see how it behave.

There is a glue for replacing speaker surrounds that is just right. For a small tear, artist's rubber cement is fine, although the days of paste up artists has passed, good luck getting it a reasonable pricel

think some one is still on happy pills
#23

Exactly.

Happy pils. Which one is that, The Bud? (it is an unhappy pils for me, I prefer Czech)
#24

I used service cement for years but the last couple years I have been using products made by Springfield speaker repair. A lot of guys that do Hi-Fi speaker repair use their CSA and rubber cements. I finally gave them a try and found that they work very well.

You prefer Czech's,
I prefer ca$h.
But I'll take a Czech no matter how much it's written for!  Icon_lolno

   On any speaker repair that I have done ,I used'' Pliabond''  It is made by Goodyear and it never gets hard.
        I am not sure where you can get it .. I get mine at Home Hardwar.
