hi all........just wondering if you can fix foam surrounds at all without replacement............l was installing some new sub drivers the other day and one of the screws slipped sideways and l hit the foam surround slightly causing a slight scratch in it...:(
l'm concerned over time this might tear open with the surround flexing....is there any glue l could use on this at all??.....any help would be appreciated as l got these from overseas and dont want to have to get a kit if l dont have to........cheers ken |

| And remember to encircle the screw with your hand (make a fist around) to avoid this in the future. Sorry you had to learn the hard way. Good luck with the repair |

If the foam is split use a small amount of something like "copydex" to close it.

The reason i use silicon is because it wont harden or crack It remains flexible A little stiffer than the foam but if you use a small amount of it on the rear of the surround it should be fine. |

the scratch is on the front of the surround , so l'll have to use the stuff sparingly .....thanx ken |
