repairing speakers
I"ve checked the web and groups.google, but haven't seen exactly what
I need. I used to use service cement to repair the paper parts of speakers, but I don't do that much anymore, I only need to do one speaker, and my service cement is gone. IIRC it was like rubber cement, from a stationery store, but I'm not sure I do recall. Is that right, will rubber cement work ok? A webpage I found said to cut pieces of tissue, like Kleenex, I guess, and soak them in a mixture of Elmer's white glue and water. Beside rips, I have one little hole. Thanks.

I guess that Elmers white glue is standard PVA ( polyvinylacetate ) glue. If it is, I have used this method to great effect in the past. PVA is also your standard wood glue, although I seem to think that this is yellow in the U.S. - I'm guessing that's where you are. With PVA that starts out in the bottle about the thickness of pouring cream, I water it about 50%, then use bathroom tissue put on in layers, and wetted down with the glue mixture. Do the back of the hole as well if you can get to it. I have also used silicon rubber sealant ( sanitarywear sealant grade ) in the past, to repair long throw cone suspensions where they have started to split. Arfa |
