PVA (woodworking) glue is best for paper, you could glue a cigarette tissue paper over the tear on the rear of the cone for strength.

I have successfully repaired many paper cones, using SOFT cure flexible glues ( ie Alene's Super Tacky or Roscoe Flexbond )
The PVA wood glues ( Elmer's etc ) dry hard, and inflexible and after time get brittle. If necessary thin black tissue paper ( available in craft store ) can be used for reinforcement. I have also used thin clear RTV glass sealant. ( Toothpicks , a pin vise, and dental picks come in handy ) |

Hi,
Any wood glue PVA where the stuff left around the cap is always flexible is the right stuff for the job. With no part of the cone missing a near invisible repair is possible. Use a toothpick and apply to wet the fuzzy torn edges only and remate the tear. Alternatively use the search facility.  /sreten.
