What's Best for Recoating EVM-12L Cloth Surround?
Posted: Tue Oct 11, 2016 5:38 pm
I have a EVM-12L speaker I picked up used a few years back that exhibits some cone cry around D on the 10th fret of the high E string....
I've been trying to find all info I can on cone cry and how to deal with it.
Doping the surround of the speaker is one option I see alot and as I examine my speaker more it looks like someone may have tried to un-dope the cloth surround; it looks kind of dry compared to other EVM-12L's I've had.
Does anyone have any recommendations as to what could be used to re-coat the cloth surround? I've read comments about using white glue, contact cement, rubber cement, etc....
One recommendation was for Loctite 410 adhesive which seems to be a rubber impregnated super-glue. This stuff is hard to find and expensive plus it's described as "high-viscosity" and I'm thinking something with a lower viscosity would give you better control in allowing you to apply multiple coats until the cone cry is gone...
Does anyone have experience using contact cement with success? This seems to be the best thing that is available in my mind but I'd appreciate hearing from those who have some experience or knowledge about speaker doping...
Thank you for any insight you cam provide....
