Re: recone glue


those eminence recone kits *can* be a bit tricky... my first 5 recone attempts ever were with those guys.   the retailer I purchased from shipped the kits with CP moylan RS 3087 rubber resin cement (on the latter 3, not the first 2), and that seemed to work well as long as you were patient and let the driver do its thing for a couple days without moving etc.


loctite also supplies this PDF for reconing

I will say, as a word to the wise, be careful when using CA glue and  the bonding VC to spider/cone step.  my second attempt ever reconing actually resulted in me gluing the VC in the voice coil gap (it dripped down in the 5 seconds it took to cure)  :(, and wow was that a headache (needless to say I had to scrap the attempt and reorder a recone kit).  I ended up spending many hours scraping the vc gap with little bits of aluminum to remove the excess CA (after I pried the voice coil out of the gap) then blowing them clean with a compressor.  


the Preassembled ones are much easier.  If I end up blowing more drivers up, I'll likely make a jig for whatever driver I am reconing and assembling the eminence kits before actual driver installation.
