Loose dust cap on woofer - best way to repair?
Just picked up a set of used non-paper speakers, and one of the dust caps
has fallen off. What's the best way to reattach it? Rubber cement? Silicone? MIG welder? (j/k) I seem to recall using generic rubber cement "back in the day," but it's been a few years and maybe there's a better adhesive, like silicone. TIA, Jeff |

lol, it 'fell' off???
Was this proceeded by an extreme load of current? A screwdriver slip? Looked at it the wrong way? n8 Just picked up a set of used non-paper speakers, and one of the dust caps has fallen off.

TIA, Jeff The glue deteriorates and will no longer stick to the poly because it had no fibers to imbed to. See it all the time. Black bostik is the no comey off sure fire method for reattachment. In home speakers white glue is king but won't like the humidity in cars. Silicone is heavy so be careful on the amount, don't lower your FS I'd try white glue first. If it doesn't work it's water soluble and you can wash it off to try something stronger. |
