RidingTooLow Posted September 7, 2013 Author Report Share Posted September 7, 2013 Alright I will take a trip to lowes tommorow for some goop. When I glue it, do I need to use clothespins/weights or anything of the sort until it dries? The surround will lay on the cone pretty much where it needs to just need to know if it needs pressure while it dries. How long do y'all let this goop stuff dry for before playing the sub?

liljestrand Posted September 7, 2013 Report Share Posted September 7, 2013 Put some weight on the dustcap. Like 5 pounds or so. Ive played a sub about 10 mins after gooping the dustcap on. No problem. Id wait on yours though since youll be fixing the surround.

RidingTooLow Posted September 7, 2013 Author Report Share Posted September 7, 2013 And I'm a very successful pimp but that don't help with my sub. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RidingTooLow Posted September 7, 2013 Author Report Share Posted September 7, 2013 Now I have another question. The original cone and dust cover has like a "coating" dare I call it? It's all raw paper cone now, but its a mojo and the paper is really stiff, and I dont think it will matter? This sub was free, and I'm not expecting much for under $30 repairs on it, BUT! Since it plays I'm hoping for a high success rate. Lmao Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RidingTooLow Posted September 7, 2013 Author Report Share Posted September 7, 2013 You can see some of that coating in the first pic by the surround. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SnowDrifter Posted September 7, 2013 Report Share Posted September 7, 2013 What if you were to paint it with fiberglass resin or something? Just the parts that are bare paper. That way it's sealed ~~~~~~~~SAY NO TO PHOTOBUCKET~~~~~~~~ Snow's DD-1 tracks here: https://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/167433-snows-dd-1-tracks/ My take on OFC vs CCA: https://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/110381-things-that-piss-you-off-in-the-car-audio-world/?do=findComment&comment=2461444 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RidingTooLow Posted September 7, 2013 Author Report Share Posted September 7, 2013 @ Snowdrifter, I was thinking the same just a thin layer of resin. Will it be too heavy? Anyone know? Yeah I gotta seal the paper somehow. I got a quote from DC for a dust cap so I am gonna go ahead and order it. I also got me some Amazing Goop this morning at Lowes.

RidingTooLow Posted September 8, 2013 Author Report Share Posted September 8, 2013 So should I brush some resin on this cone to seal it? Gonna try to glue the surround tonight if I don't get to drunk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SnowDrifter Posted September 8, 2013 Report Share Posted September 8, 2013 I don't foresee weight being an issue. Put it on thin. Enough to cover it, but don't go glopping it on ~~~~~~~~SAY NO TO PHOTOBUCKET~~~~~~~~ Snow's DD-1 tracks here: https://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/167433-snows-dd-1-tracks/ My take on OFC vs CCA: https://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/110381-things-that-piss-you-off-in-the-car-audio-world/?do=findComment&comment=2461444 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
