I have tried using a new xacto knife but with no luck. I figured even if I can get it off, it will leave an uneven surface for the new foam and I may damage the cone material. With what I have tried, the old glue seems to have penetrated into the paper cone and bonded with it. I have glued a new foam surround onto the old rubber surround and I will wait for a day to see if it will hold. Some picture when I have completed the job.

Hi ra.ra, sorry, I meant 'thick'. I will take a look this evening and if there is too much work and may make it worse if I try to remove it, I will just leave it in place and stick the new form on top of it.

Hi all, Here is a couple of pictures on the remains of the surround. I will try lakecat's suggestion first before the chemicals. It is the lower midrange woofer for the AR9.

Hi all, Just started working on a woofer with a rubber surround replaced by the previous owner. The rubber surround is very think so I need to remove it and put foam surround on. Removing it from the basket was easy enough but it is a completely different story when it comes to removing it from the cone. The surround was replaced I believe 5-6 years ago and it is still very fresh. The glue just wouldn't come off so is the surround. Any thing that I can use to remove the surround/glue without damaging the cone ? Or should I just stick the new surround on top of the leftover rubber edge ? Best regards, David.
