    Surrounding glue type?

    I got to recone a friend's woofers with new foam surrounds. The questions, what kind of glue is recomented to use between the foam surround and the chessis leap?

    Come on!!!!

    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.

    Hi Panos,

    most used glue is a Bostik Cyanoacrylate glue

    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.

    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.

    Glue Question

    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.

    - Ooops ,,,sorry, well,,, my excuse was the lack of early AM caffeine. The time of my posting should explain all.

    - 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 .

    - Good Point !

    - I've heard the very same thing about hardware store, 2-part epoxies .

    Pro Parts - 353196-001 ADHESIVE TUBE, MOYEN 308 7.00 $ USD EA
    - I guess it's now apparent why those who do recones on a regular basis, use the recommended stuff .

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

    Our safety guy here at work likes to call it Methyl-ethyl-death. Gives you a hint about not beathing the vapors.

    Hey, one should wear protective glasses when acting like that.
    Usually it feels like beeing under crossfire
