Built some speakers a long time ago, and one of the foam surrounds has a few cracks maybe 1 cm long each.
I do NOT want to replace the entire surrounds. Fuggedaboudit.
What I want to do is coat something on the top of the surrounds that will keep them working. Like rubber cement or Elmer's or...I have no idea, that's why I'm asking you all!
Something easily found at a hardware store or something would be nice. I'm just visiting here for a few days, so ordering some special goop means waiting until some other trip. I did see "silicon" mentioned in another thread, but what does that mean? If I go to Home Depot there are a bunch of kinds of "silicon"-which are not very thin but rather thick and sticky. With the cracks I have I need something like the consistency of honey or so, that I can gently brush over the cracks thin layers at a time...
Extreme purity of response is not important for these speakers, just want to keep them working...
