Popsicle AR2 Posted January 22, 2020 Report Share Posted January 22, 2020 I've followed some threads here around gluing speaker cones to their surrounds, but my surrounds have come loose in a couple of spots from the metal basket. I've seen Aleene's glue mentioned in some of those posts but wonder if that type of glue will be sufficient to secure the surrounds to metal or if there are other suggestions??? Thanks!

If you lift the edge of the foam, and you can help yourself with a spatula, screwdriver, card or other atraumatic objects (take advantage to also check the foam nearby, even here continue the gluing), clean the metal and the portion of the ring, also put the glue that was discussed above, wait for the time of gluing and pressing occasionally the gluing area with the fingers to ensure excellent adhesion. The foam will return to adhere to the whole circumference as it was originally. Also check the other woofer and do the same job if necessary as the first one.

RTally Posted January 23, 2020 Report Share Posted January 23, 2020 I have refoamed many speakers and have never had a problem using Aleene's glue between the foam and the metal basket. As noted above, ensure the basket surface is clean. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
