?? Sorry dude, I have no idea what colour glue was removed or added where how or why, or in what order. Hope you know what you're doing.

was told to use the white stuff tho genelec used super sticky black stuff and pita to remove.

He hasn't gone over the entire cone with iso.

the white stuff should dry clear but it is bloody cold so might take a few days as that 1st one is still sticky

had to use the iso to get the black glue off fkn mission and still not got it all off but will have to do for now as long as it keeps it going.

prob have to get a recone kit as the ring is not the right size for the wave guide but it will fit.

the foam is only ten euros each so if this try fails will get 2 more and use different glue

The guy in that video doesn't cover his entire cone with iso either. Iso dissolves glue, might also dissolve whatever they've doped the paper cone with. Hope the sonics aren't affected. You could replace the dope with other dope, I know you've got dope.

got 2 more on order and will only glue on to the back so wont look like a mess but whatever that glue was they used iso did not do much to remove it even with a razor blade if i go at it any harder ill destroy the cone edge.

Pardon our interruption...

Run them too hard and the white glue will just tear off? Stick to low volume only maybe?

thought the black stuff was for rubber surrounds but on sale with foam ones so will grab a tube of that when the next 2 show up.

On the other hand if the glue is too strong or is too inflexible, the cone will tear at high volumes? Hell this is why I haven't refoamed my AR38Ss

if you put iso on the foam it just dissolves so the glue cant have any alcohols in it or it will melt

Well that's just marvellous isn't it? Rather you than me.

well cash is there for a new driver after Christmas as not risking 350 plus vat on a recone kit and i bet they glued the 2 halfs together anyway cos it wont move at all

 

[soundwave]

and i won the Avantones 200 quid

seems these new foam kits are a mix of foam and rubber why it wont soak thru the outer layer also the cone is painted gray as it is green under it like the outer edge so loads of iso dont help.

got 2 new rings and some black glue on way so 3rd time lucky as this white shite just wont dry like crap gloss paint

Hey 25kg capacity is pretty good. I might need stronger ones for my floorstanders to do the same, can't recall how much they weigh.
