gonna try a speaker repair

[442w30]

After reading Slayer's thread, I have decided to try my hand at speaker repair.
Which method should I try? It's a Celestion G12T-75 12" with a fairly large rip near the surround. Figure it couldn't hurt to try....

If it's a large rip get it reconed.

I have used watered down Elmers and black construction paper before, somewhat like a paper machet type method. Get the excess mixture off, and mold it to the cone while still wet.

No offense, but it is a G12T-75, so go for it. Either you will like the result or you will know that you should get it re-coned. Worthless right now with a tear in it though. If it works out well, then you will know how to confidently do it with better speakers with no errors.

Yep,
I went with Elmers/Tissue. Looks sturdy, I am going to wait until tomorrow to put it through it's paces. It's a large enough tear and not a rare speaker by any means, so it can't hurt to try it. Def isn't going to hurt the value.
