A cone crack - what is the best quick repair?
#6

Mike;
  I think that tacky glue, or that glue pen glue, will work fine, I used to use contact cement myself, you don't really need to add a patch for that crack, just smear glue on both sides and it will be fine. One thing you do NOT want to use is silicone, no matter how many times you may run into that garbage being recommended, silicone is for caulking around bathtubs and windows, not speaker repair. The people that recommend silicone are just the blind following the blind, speaker shops use a form of contact or rubber cement, except it's dyed black.

Arran
