Dayton DSQ Unglued!!!! *PIC*

I have a Dayton DSQ that unfortunately its surround has become unglued from the frame. I’m not sure if I caught it in time to prevent damage to the voice coil. I do seem to recall a discussion about this being an issue with the DSQ. Is there an improved adhesive available that will adhere to the rubber and metal frame better than what was used originally? Maybe contact adhesive? The Seal-All will stick to metal but I'm not sure about adhering to the rubber surround.

I like Seal-All. But I also Like Aleens Tacky Glue for gluing metal to various other substances. Tacky Glue is similar if not identical to that which comes with woofer surround kits. Its white but dries clear.There are many varieties of Tacky Glue in the Wal Mart Crafts Dept. Some quick drying. Take your pick.

Thanks, I'll take a look at the Tacky Glue.

I put a little test dap of Seal-All on the surround last night to see if it would adhere and and just peeled right off after it dried. The surround feels like it has a lot of plasticizers in it. If I knew what kind of material the surround is made of it would help to find an adhesive. The factory adhesive looks and feels like black silicone, kinda of slippery and stretchy feeling if you know what I mean.

im not sure what the cone material is for the DSQ, but if it is a poly cone (like the vifas) i used inner tube patch glue to re-attach the surround to the cone. It worked perfect.

That slipery rubbery stuff also sounds like RTV that you can pick up at automotive stores.

The cone is made out of paper but it's the surround to frame joint that has failed.

I might try some Permatex Super Black RTV Silcone, still looking though for something better though to be sure maybe butyl rubber.

I need help in this area also. Small tear (1/4") in the foam surround on a Dayton DVC 12. I just ordered the PE surround glue to try and save it. Will give an update later on how well it worked.

After reading all the responses, I think Leo has the right idea. That would most likely do the job. The black adhesive that you are seeing from the factory is probably the same stuff you can buy from Orange County Speaker Repair (www.speakerrepair.com). I used this to put new gaskets on my RatShack 18's and they are never coming off. Be aware that it is an M.E.K. based adhesive so it's a bit nasty. Just don't breathe the fumes too much and you will be fine.

This glue probably won't "stich" a tear together. I'm not even sure if it stays pliable after hardening. It's best used to glue the surround back to the frame or cone. You might try putting a small piece of cloth on it using a little silicone caulk. I did this once with a 6x9 car speaker, and it worked pretty good. I rubbed some silicone on the affected area, then cut some grille cloth to fit, and stick it on. You could even do this to the back side of the surround so the front of the driver still looks good. Good luck.
