:blink: Wow 52 views and no answer to such an "easy question". Come on guys don't tell me that nobody in here has never reconed a woofer! I just need a clue of the general kind of glue not a brand name.

No guidance in the "Resurround step-by-step" thread? The surrounds come with glue, no?

I doubt an instant superglue is a good choice, since you gotta be able to center everything once it's in place.
ACK!! 202 threads have "glue" in them. :biting:
If you re-surround the surrounds come with a white, later clear drying glue.
If you recone the recone kit come with an brown "bostic" glue.
If you need surrounds do a search for "rick cobb" if you prefer to buy in europe PM me.
Hi Panos
From the Sites' Search Engine ;
(i) Click here to read some info from another "Glue Thread". This thread is pretty good, though as is typical , does get derailed in the middle .
(ii) Click here to read about more gluing. This thread has some pretty decent info on temporary type glues.
(iii) Here's some specific info from Mr. Widget .

The glue JBL uses is a special cyanoacrylate called Henkel 5019 which is the same as Loctite 422. Either one needs an appropriate primer.
Earl,
That particular cyanoacrylate glue was for the spider on the Sub1500. I am not sure if it is used on other products.

- In defence of my quoted statement, "cyanoacrylate glue" is a formulation that GordonW mentions earlier ( one must read the linked to threads ) as a glue-type that he's never seen fail / hence my addled brains' inclusion of it at the end .
:p

- I've heard the very same thing about hardware store, 2-part epoxies . :D
- I guess it's now apparent why those who do recones on a regular basis, use the recommended stuff .Quote:

- ( Now, is someone going to tell Panos about MEK ? / or / are we going to wait for 200 views ? ;) )
