Had my first doping disaster today. The dust cap lifted and the glue flowed underneath and into the voice coil gap - one driver now fecked up and useless :angry-screaming:

Try a thin line of blue tac first doc to seal the joint, may help prevent further occurrances ? But this will require listening tests of course.

It appears the solvent in the Bison Kit softened the original bond :angry-steamingears:

Yup! also for some reason these 12 inchers have kevlar dust caps so not good bond to a kevlar cone. The other one has done it now, but taking the dust caps off and turning the drivers over to let the gunk drop out and poring solvent in the back vent hole (phnaa phnaa) seems to have released the cones again. The first one I drained off I used super glue to hold the dust cap back in place that has worked by the look of it.
