E8 problem

Jacob or whomever can answer,

The dustcap came off one of the E8's my boy is using. What glue should be used to fix it? How long should it dry?

As an added note, the box for my boy is finally built. Going to paint it this spring but he is going to use it untill then. It has been hooked up @ 4 ohms for a couple of weeks. We are going to hook it up @ 1 ohm today. I am going to video his first impressions of it.

Jake uses CA glue on his Nightshade spiders. :shrug:

Jake uses CA glue on is Nightshades. :shrug:

Sorry, unfamiliar with what CA glue is?

We actually quit using CA glue for everything except gluing the spiders to each other.

I suggest a 5-minute epoxy for the dust cap.

Did those come from me or Mike on CA.com ? New or old revision ?

It's a long explanation, I'll let Wikipedia take care of it :)http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cyanoacrylate

These are the rebuild from Mike. Wasn't worried about it just wanted to fix it so we can get this box playing. It models incredibly well and should hit in the 140ish range give or take 3db. Which isn't bad on a 1000 watts. At least as far as our calculations :Doh: go.

My bad.. Superglue...

not exacly super glue but similar well the stuff used for subs isnt super glue its stronger and often times black in color

I actually do not suggest CA on the dust caps - in my experience CA does not stick well at all to poly.

5-minute epoxy or clear GOOP does, though :)

X2, I've reglued the dust caps on my Nightshades several times with the Loctite brand 5 minute epoxy. This was before Jacob started using epoxy on the caps and the CA didn't last. Now the caps haven't come off yet with the epoxy on them.
