Speaker-rubber cement

Posted by Marv Nuce on 07/12/2009 18:51

Vinny,
Its Elmers "fabric and paper" glue found at JoAnns Craft Shops ($2.99) in 4 oz squeeze bottle. Instruction panel on the back says it'll survive many washings, meaning its waterproof. It is water based and diluted with same to a paint texture would be enough to coat many speaker cones, and dries clear to a rubber like texture semi gloss appearance. Its a paste texture out of the bottle, and can be used to patch tears/rips etc. Except for rips/tears, applying it straight from the bottle with a brush may be too heavy coating, and affect the speaker performance, so I use it diluted. Water based dyes, inks, acrylics can be used for color agents. I've successfully used acrylics. Its also "acid free", which should make it safe for old paper cones.

:Marv, I have been looking for elmers water based glue, none of them say water based. I did however find a school glue elmers (Looks like gel) that washes off with water and soap, is this the correct product?
:Thank you,

::Vinny,
::I have successfully used a water based Elmers glue that drys flexible/shiny, but is washable and for fabrics, so waterproof. Found in craft shops, water it down a little, and brush on with a fine bristled brush. Old cones are very brittle so use a soft brush. You can also join rips/tears undiluted, and after that paint it on like so.

:::Greetings to all,
:::Has anyone heard of or does anyone use rubber cement to coat speakers? Is there a proven revitalizing method for speaker material?
