Rockford Cracked... can i fix??

[SofireGuy 10+ year member]

hey, I've got 2 Rockford Punches. The P310D4 with a molded polypropylene cone. One has a crack on it //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/blackeye.gif.66a1670f5aaf7f406e783a63e3387dc5.gif , it looks like someone kicked it or hit ir with a small blunt object... Its fairly small about 3/4" - 1" in diameter.... Is there anything I can buy to fix it??? This sub costs about 150 each so I'd rather try fixing... Anyone??

Ok.. I've been looking at soooo many different adhesives and I came across one that might work... Its the 3M Scotch-Weld... Its made especially for polymers like polyurethane, polyethylene, and polypropelyne... Think this might work??? It sounds perfect, it's flexible, strong, and helps the surface to become more high-energy so it can bond better. I just think it might be to heavy of a material for the sub's cone thats why people use CA glue.

Alright.. I couldn't find the sm Scotch-Weld in town aywhere, so i found some CA glue with a polymer activator at Wal-Mart of all places. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/laugh.gif.48439b2acf2cfca21620f01e7f77d1e4.gif i have some pics that ill try to get up soon... It seems like it will work great.. It bonded and is pretty tough... will test tomorrow!!

yeah it should hold...for awhile

i really think you should have buffed the area a little to give the aplicator a little more bite. things hold better that way. and the coat you put on looks weak. but i bet that it well hold. atleast for a month or so. possible a good year if ya lucking.
