Thank you very much for your very thorough report.
Certainly gives us all an option for rejuvenating our old AR and KLH cloth surrounds.
I tried to think of another speaker company that used cloth surrounds in our classic speakers, I couldn't think of any.
As a side note, I wanted to print out this write-up.
I wasn't successful finding a way to print it out, yet.
I did save the attachments, but not the printout.
Congratulations Roy,
You deserve the thanks of so many of us that work with cloth surround speakers. I have been experimenting as well, and am very glad you found the answer to a problem that has been mentioned in these Classic Speaker Pages for YEARS.
I have been planning to construct home theater speaker systems based on pairs of KLH six woofers and have held off proceeding until a satisfactory method of resealing the surrounds was announced. Also thanks for the advice to clean up & remove old hardened sealant before application of the thinned down Permatex High Tack Gasket Sealant.
I'd give you my vote for solving one of the oldest problems ever discussed in this forum, which should warrant some kind of award for a job well done.
