Speaker-rubber cement

Posted by NoWool on 07/07/2009 14:43

Hello Vinny.
Ive been using 3m rubber contact cement on speakers for a long time ,with very Good results!
Usually If there are a few pieces torn or needed to be replaced,I use the 3m contact cement straight from the can after mixing.
I also shine a light behind most speakers to see how dried out they are,looking for cracks and areas where the light shines through.
In cases where I can see cracks and dried out areas I mix Mineral oil with The 3M Contact cement and cover the whole speaker surface with the mix.
I have saved many speakers ready to dry out with this method.
I should add When Mixing Mineral oil with contact cement,remember a little mineral oil goes further then we would think.
also any added mass such as glue or any substance will have some changes to a speakers frequency response depending on the amount of mass.

: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?
:Thank you,
:Vinny A.
