recone glue

For Fi recones since they use foam surrounds, 2 part epoxy is recommended. I used a Loc-Tite version with 50 minute set time but that was completely overkill. 15 minute set time should give even a first timer more than enough time to get everything lined up. For recones with rubber surrounds, I have used Plumber's Goop. Both of these are available at your local home improvement store like Lowes and Home Depot.

Loc-tite is the name.

Loc-tite 10 minute epoxy works very well also.

IMO 50 minutes is a overkill.

They can be found at any local parts store, example, Autozone.

DO NOT use it with Fi recones. The VOC's it produces when curing will deteriorate and/or dissolve the foam surround on the recone kit.

If you recone involves a new basket, make sure to use some Locktite Blue on the screws - http://www.loctiteproducts.com/products/su...10&SubID=48

CA glue is what they use at the factory
Which is great if you are an expert at reconing and your assembly line doesn't have time to wait for everything to cure. For the average person, epoxy works just fine. In fact, Scott is the one that recommends epoxy. They use it for quick recones during competition. Plus CA glue smells worse than Goop. Epoxy is the least smelly of the bunch.

interesting ive always used CA glue when reconing.... just pointing out any extra options

I had that option on a sub I built from scratch. I used CA on parts that were already touching. Like the spider/voice coil joint or the cone/voice coil joint. It just dried too fast for me. There would be no way I could lay down a couple of beads of glue and get everything positioned correctly.

But yes, it is an option and available at hobby stores that carry remote control cars, etc.
