I wonder just how thin one can make the dust cap glue line and have it endure. I am thinking I am going to find out! As you can tell I like them thin!
These are done with Moyen.

If we knew what the hell we were doing, we wouldn't call it research would we.
Good question, the dustcaps have a chamfer on the underside to lay flush with the cone-I applied the moyen black stuff to that being generous on the inner edge so from the front they look very tidy indeed.
I'd expect that unless you really hammered them, that would be fine.
I actually find comfort in, and like the look of the thicker/stock line .
Maybe Edgewound, GordonW, 4313B... (someone with significant experience
and training) can give a better answer if they have the time and interest.
I've only done this once, on an Altec driver, and it was a real goober job,
not having the right glue -or- the experience. AHack or Cooky, how do you center
the cap with the glue on it without making a mess (dryfit and mark first?)

Good question. There is no glue under mine besides what soaks in/under from the top.AHack or Cooky, how do you center
the cap with the glue on it without making a mess (dryfit and mark first?)

YES, Mr. 1audio hack, "dryfit and mark first," then apply the cement recommended in the following topic bellow with an appropriate hypodermic needle & syringe to both cone and underside of the cap edge; make shure the cement solvent wets the cone & cap paper surface. Rehearse the application mechanics with out cement first.
This next topic commands a "Heads Up" to prevent a disaster.

Hi Grumpy dry fit, line up then mask about 1" of outside area on cone with masking tape (then any goofs only get glue on masking tape) I then apply glue generously-about 2-3 mm thick line to the underside circumference and finally using blutack or masking tape to make a 'handle for the cap, place, locate then remove all tape and leave to dry-Bob's you your aunty.

Americans don't understand the last phrase at all
Don't be too sure, I have friends from New Zealand, Austrailia and England.
I would agree that most Americans don't know those phrases.

Guys, we get Top Gear, Monty Python, Gordon Ramsay, Doctor Who, Faulty Towers, David Hobbs doing the F1 commentary, etc.
Even I know Bob's nephew.
I make it a rule never to underestimate our transatlantic cousins

Disclosure: I did spend -some- time (not enough) in Oz a few years back.
Wow! I should turn on the TV once in a while.

LOL, now I didn't say I watch all of that stuff, just that the hoi polloi might not be as ignorant as assumed. But I've seen some of it, probably all of the Monty Python episodes when I was growing up. I do watch Top Gear (semi-regularly) and F1 (regularly), and David Hobbs can't get through a race weekend without using the phrase in question.
I think is was George Bernard Shaw or Oscar Wilde who said we are "two nations separated by a common language"
'Uncle Bobs'. Generally meaning 'all will be well', and often used to indicate a successful outcome
Say now! that is a very nice phrase..... Yankee cousins over here are still growing up.
Spanish culture in Spain has 22,000 idiomatic phrases or short cut expressions, for example; "A Kema Ropa" translated, literally states "to burn your clothing" & it means "point blank". Generally the Spanish language is strong, it wastes no words & immediately gets to the point. Except for the Guitar and the Bull Fight, life is just too short in Spain.
