    Using DOT 3, automotive brake fluid?

    ...is this product used for keeping FOAM surrounds soft? ...I used this several years ago, and I cannot remember now....

    ...it is applied using cotton swabs, I believe....

    NO!!! I wouldn't put anything on foam. The DOT treatment only works on Lans-a-loy.

    Yes, do not use dot3 on foam surrounds, foam should always be flexible but if they aren't, then they simply need to be replaced.

    If you use brake fluid on lans-a-loy surrounds, it will eventually seep into the white aquaplas cone near the surround and stain it gray. The stain never goes away and looks terrible.

    That's good to know. I've only used it on LE15As... no aquaplas there.
