sundownz Posted July 22, 2009 Report Share Posted July 22, 2009 Seems people have ALOT of problems putting caps on their re-cones so this is how it is done : Buy two of these containers of Loctite FIVE MINUTE epoxy w/ mixing tubes at Lowes (DO NOT USE ONE MINUTE): ---------- First Step : http://www.sundownaudio.com/misc/how-to/Ni...ap/CIMG2514.MOV Put epoxy around the edges of the disc as shown - make sure to get a good bit in the little holes so it is filled in. ---------- Second Step: Wait about 5 minutes for the first step to dry. http://www.sundownaudio.com/misc/how-to/Ni...ap/CIMG2515.MOV CAREFULLY make a bead around the dust cap to fill in the gap area. You will see Brandon traces back a bit at the end - this is because the epoxy keeps dripping out a bit and we don't want it on the cone. Don't put too much or it will run over onto the cap!

cc_audio Posted July 23, 2009 Report Share Posted July 23, 2009 Is that Evanescence in the background of the 2nd vid? Good song. Cool trick, always used CA glue for my dustcaps. Quote It's all gone!

sundownz Posted July 23, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 23, 2009 Indeed - CA can work quite well in many cases - but I have found it doesn't hold very well when sticking the poly cap to the poly stiffening disc, though. Also - the epoxy looks very smooth and nice around the cap where CA glue tends to get rough and bubbly around there Quote - Jacob Fuller - Owner, Sundown Audio - Sundown Audio on FACEBOOK - Please DO NOT PM ME -- use my email address -- [email protected] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
