[QUOTE="DSMissed, post: 8658828, member: 675769"] Thanks for that. I did check springfield, and they had the poly cone for a 10", but not a 12". Good to know about the spider and coil also. Since this cone is polypropylene, I just was unsure what kind of adhesives and paint would stick. I did attempt to patch it, and so far it is holding up. What I did was scuff all around the hole on both sides, then put a layer of thin CA glue on to get in the cracked areas around the hole, then put two layers of thick CA glue on both sides. Then I mixed some flex UV resin with some fiber fill UV resin and added some silver, pearl, and bronze mica powder to it. I did a bunch of thin layers on each side, slowly filling in the hole and feathering outwards past the cracks. I used wax paper to make it smooth. It color matched pretty well, and the patch is stong but has a little flex to it. I know resin doesn't adhere well to plastics, but I'm hoping the CA glue will act as an adhesion promoter for a strong bond. [/QUOTE]
