G'day All,
Firstly, congrats to Bud P - EnABL really does work!!

I wanted to try EnABL, but was uncomfortable with the idea of 'painting' my cabinets or drivers.
Here is a way to try the EnABL process that can be easily reversed and without using paint.
How? Heavy Duty Aluminium Kitchen Foil and double sided tape
(Sellotape "Acid free" 10mm x 5 metres).
1. Apply the double sided tape to the dull side of the foil - leave about 1.5 cm on either side of the ds tape.
2. Press down on firmly on the back of the ds tape to get a good bond with the foil.
3. Carefully tear the foil along the edge of the tape - keep tension on the tape with one hand and you will get a clean edge.
4. You now have a strip you can cut to fit the block size you need for applying the EnABL process to speaker cabinet or driver.
I used a blade and a cutting mat to cut the blocks.
For smaller blocks, I peeled off the backing and stuck the strip to the cutting mat. The blocks can be 'picked off' using a blade and applied.
I have applied blocks as small as 2mm x 4mm!
I have applied this to my cabinets and drivers.
Foil blocks can be easily removed from the driver cone using a fingernail.
Results are stunning ! - is it the same as doing it properly using paint?
I don't know, but if you are skeptical about EnABL like I was, try this and see for yourself.
Bud, what are your thoughts on this?
Cheers,
Alex from Oz
