[QUOTE="ahole-ic, post: 6938155, member: 619324"] Alright man I'll tell you what to do. Get a sharp knife and pry up one area of the dustcap. Then hold it up and slide a flat blade screwdriver under it and gently go all the way around the cap making sure not to tear the cone. Once the cap is off, get some acetone and cue tips. Dip a cue tip in the acetone and begin wiping off the excess ca glue. Now, order another dustcap. This time get the rubberized compound from fixmyspeaker.com. It's not ca glue or really a glue at all. Then center your dustcap where you want it to go. Trace around it with a pencil. Then apply this rubberized compound to your outer edge of your new dustcap. Place it inside the circle you made on your cone. Allow it time to cure a little. Then if you still want to, you can use this compound around the outside edge of the dustcap. To do this you have to apply constant pressure on the bottle and rotate your hand around the dustcap at the same speed. Doing this and ONLY this will render a smooth bead around the dustcap. [/QUOTE]
