BL with tears in spider, what to do?

[Giovanni15 10+ year member]

I just bought a fi bl 15. It has two glue spots which i am guessing are tears in the spider. it looks like it has held well so far. but i found a tear that isnt glued. should i attempt to glue it? what kind of glue? if not then i know i will have to recone. what are my options there? i believe fi recones them for like 210. any advice appreciated. or if someone has a bl 15 recone they havent used id be interested. also interested in a box for it that someone might have and not use let me know also. thanks

I say beat it till it tears completely then by a recone ore nurse it till you have the money for a recone either way it needs a recone.

Talk to the person/store who you bought it from if you didn't know about it prior to purchase. Otherwise save up for the recone kit.

I can totally rebuild it with nomex spiders for cheaper and give you a 90 day warrenty, as around.

it will be louder and never have a spider issue again...
