Using shoegoo to repair tear in surround

Recommended Posts

So i got a tear in my surround. I was told to use shoe goo. Ive put on 3 laters so far. How many layers do i need to apply in total? Also, how long do i need to wait after the final layer till i can start playing it again?

 

Thanks

why on earth aren't you asking the person who told you to use it?

Because i was at a car audio shop and a customer overheard me talking to the shop employee and in passing said "go to home depot and grab shoegoo" and that was it. 

 

Thanks for your insight

Don’t use shoe goo. Shoe goo will peel off after the surround moves for a while. Just peel that shoe goo off and use this. Trust me. This stuff will hold up for the long run and is stronger more and stronger and won’t peel off.

They sell it at Walmart. It works great repairing surrounds. Like really good.

I like to use 2 layers just in case

Perfect. How long in between coats do i need to wait to apply 2nd coat and how long do i need to wait after last coat to start playing? I am from canada and we got this here but its packaged a lil different. I still think its the same thing tho. Pls check it out and let me know if its the same thing.
