What kind of "glue" is needed for reconing a sub?


Recommended Posts

I used this:

http://www.parts-express.com/pe/showdetl.c...tnumber=340-620

from Parts Express. It was easy to work with because it is a thicker Gel. I put 2 of my subs back together (spider separated from the cone and spider separated from the basket) with this stuff some time ago and haven't had any problems since.

Like 6.50 for one ounce plus shipping...

Not sure if it'll need an activator, but Gorilla Glue make a CA glue (btw, super glue is CA usually, iirc)

Gorilla Super Glue is a cyanoacrylate adhesive. Gorilla Glue is a polyurethane adhesive.

Gorilla Super Glue does not require extended clamping or moisture to activate. It does not foam during set up. In addition, Gorilla Super Glue is recommended primarily for indoor applications only.

Gorilla Super Glue is ideal for smaller repairs that require an instant bond and projects where clamping is not needed.

Yes, it will work on paper. Only apply a small amount. It is not acid free, therefore, not recommended for scrapbooking.

Gorilla Super Glue works well up to temperatures as high as 200-220ºF. However, too much exposure to extreme heat will cause the strength of the bond to be compromised. Likewise, too much exposure to water, especially warm water, can compromise the strength of the bond.

Gorilla Super Glue can typically be exposed to temperatures ranging from -65ºF to 200ºF without breaking down.

However, there can be variation to this range due to the way different substrates expand and contract in extreme temperatures.

Also if you go to any hobby shop (model airplanes, cars, trucks, etc..) ask for Tire Glue, medium viscosity. Light viscosity will dry to quick. Max viscosity will take to long to dry. It'll cost about $8-10 for a bottle of it at a hobby shop.

CA glue and activator are available in any hobby shop.

Not true, I have a hobby lobby by me and they do not carry it except on their site.

And the CA glue available to you at hobby stores is not the same, its a thinner usually clear color CA Glue which sucks for woofers since you need a thicker more gel type.

i meant a real hobby shop, not hobby lobby. real hobby shops have about 10 or 15 types of CA for different things. ( i mess around with rc cars too )
