Posted May 30, 200916 yr went to local hobby shop and checked out their glue, is it the 'rubber toughened' ca glue used to recones ?
May 30, 200916 yr Author i went ahead and picked up 1oz bottle of IC-2000"The NEW IC-2000 is a rubber-toughened cyanoacrylate that forms superior shock resistant bonds on non-porous surfaces. The black colored CA has added flexibility for the bonding of metals, fiberglass, rubber, carbon-fiber and other advanced materials"http://www.nesail.com/detail.php?productID=1009
June 1, 200916 yr we have used the devcon 5min apoxy for years. its cheap, easy to find and works great. i like it much better than CA. just be sure to get the 5min apoxy with the twisty tips. i dont know the part number off had, but i can find it .
June 9, 200916 yr I have used a few bottles of this stuff....works very wellhttp://www.prosoundservice.com/m9_view_ite...D-RECONEGLUE8OZ
June 9, 200916 yr holy crap thats cheap!!! i wonder how good it works for real woofers. im sure glue needs for most DJ and concert speakers is a bit different than an 18 playinf 30hz with 3kw on it ..have you used it for neck joints? Edited June 9, 200916 yr by AlanHall
June 9, 200916 yr Author i used it for an RE XXX 12, it hasn't had ANY problems so far, but im only pushing it with 275watts atm. waiting for funds to get a real amp to push it, and beef my womens electrical. i played around with it before i reconed and it seems like some legit glue.something about hazardous materials prevented me from buying glue w/ the recone kit because it cannot be shipped legally.

I used this stuff on some custom 10" Icons and was able to pull a 143.6db @ 10hz with outany problems in fact I pushed enough power to the subs to tear them apart and the glue never evenshowed the slightest sign of letting go at all
June 12, 200916 yr you used it for the neck joint? or were they drop in recones?they have a different product for gluing the spider to the formerhttp://www.prosoundservice.com/m9_view_ite...D-RECONEGLUEKIT
June 12, 200916 yr yeah.. thats more like it .. but david at fix my speaker has waaaaaay better stuff for 70 for 8oz .. with sprayer and activator www.**** its what i have been using .. and iots expensive sorta... but its the best glue ive ever used .. Edited June 12, 200916 yr by AlanHall
June 12, 200916 yr I have used the CA glue with the activator in the past along with a few others but when the results are the same in the end at 1/2 the price I'll stick with the Prosound productthey all work..it's just personall preference
June 12, 200916 yr im not so sure they all work the same for 12kw burps.... like you said in preferance.. i prefer mine to stay in one piece....
June 12, 200916 yr Author I have used a few bottles of this stuff....works very wellhttp://www.prosoundservice.com/m9_view_ite...D-RECONEGLUE8OZ you know what i noticed about this.. it says rubber adheasive.. no were does it say CA , and there is no activator for it .. i dunno if it would do the job.. maybe for surrounds and dust caps..you're qouting the wrong personi posted a link to the ic-2000 rubberized ca glue i used. i think you got us mixed up
June 13, 200916 yr Author no i dont .. i was talking about the speaker glue he posted a link to..he never implied it was ca glue, i was the only one talking about ca glue and posting a link to it.so you can see how i thought you got us confused eh? Edited June 13, 200916 yr by Earsplitter
June 13, 200916 yr I don't talk much on this forum, but I decided to put in my $.02! I've used the BSI IC-2000 and it discolored my cone. Could just be the finish on my particular cone (Soundstream XXX), but there's other CA glue that won't do that. For my last recone, I used 3M's DP420 in black. The product's tech sheet was very impressive. It won't kick as quick as 5 minute epoxy or CA glue, but my gosh the stuff is rad. I had a heat gun aimed at my sub for a good half an hour and the glue was set. It's a little expensive since you have to purchase the applicator gun.
