Speaker Cone Restoration - 46-1213
#2

I don't know what the consistancy is of Eileens Tacky glue or what it is used for but if it is for fabric it should be fine as long as it isn't too thick, or if you water it down, you want it flexible. What you don't want to use is either silicone, regular white glue, or yellow carpentry glue, silicone beads up and falls off and regular white and yellow glue dries stiff like plastic. What I would do is test the Tacky glue on a scrap piece of paper in various consistancies just to see what it does, I did this while testing alternatives to contact cement this week and the glue from a dollar store glue pen seemed to stiffen the paper less then the craft glue I also tested, I did not water down either type. The glue pen glue seems to work well to strengthen a brittle paper cone but I would still use contact cement on something like a cloth spider. By the way you should shim between the voice coil and the pole piece in the center otherwise the moisture in the glue may pull the cone out of allignment, you can use old flim negative for this or some other stiff but thin material.
Regards
Arran
