I has a few dustcap questions

I think gorilla glue has some epoxy that I might try out, I love their products. Now to find an 8" cap or **** it up and go with a 6" again //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/frown.gif.a3531fa0534503350665a1e957861287.gif

Good luck.. I'm not fond of Gorilla Glue.. Goop has always been stronger IMO... I got to the point when 'gluing stuff' I just used Goop for everything because its so strong..

I'll try Goop then

Good Luck man! Follow its instructions carefully and you'll fall in love with the stuff.. put to much and you'll be waiting for ever for it to set..

Make sure to let it dry fully before use.. When I used on speakers I let dry 24 hrs infront of a fan before I used them..

And I always use the one in the purple tube.. I think its called 'household'

Thanks I'll do that, now just to figure out what cap I want!

i have thick 7" caps with a wide glue edge and they are poly.

use e6000 i do on all my builds and have never had 1 come off. make sure to sand the back of the dustcap with 50-100grit where it contacts the cone, that is a must...

Do not use epoxy on a dustcap unless its rubberized. I agree goop is your best bet (its what I use). It is tough yet flexible which is what you need for a dustcap.
