So I just got my driver back from the shop, and (stupid me) I managed to put a hole about 3-4 millimeters diameter into the front when i lost control of the drill when reinstalling it. Does anybody have any good techniques for fixing a hole like that? Should I just leave it alone?
I think I used to use something like toilet paper and crazy glue, but it's been a long time...
I use my wifes nail polish. Works wonders.
toilet paper and black rtv sealant(you can use blue but the black obviously would look better)
rtv?
RTV is a silicone rubber product produced by GE. It is used as an adhesive and sealant that is very flexible.

Some sort of rubber solution. I'm guessing inner tube repair glue would be a similar thing then?

i was thinking some fabric and epoxy, but these are great ideas guys!
I don't know if it's the current recommended method, but I seem to remember fixing tears in speaker cones with rubber cement back in the day.
Bill, tgo
I visit a place called Speaker City in Burbank, and they sold me some glue. It is a white glue, looks like elmers, but they said it dries differently, remains somewhat pliable. I repaired some speaker tears about 8 months ago, and the repair still holds up. It was in a plain unmarked bottle, so I don't know what it is called, but maybe the right shop could help you.
It's probably called elmer's glue in an expensive bottle. I would try to find out what's actually in there and look for the generic version if there is one.
It's definitely different than Elmers, I used Elmers in the past to repair a speaker, and it became brittle, and failed in a couple of months. This stuff stays tacky, maybe it's elmers with some Olive oil mixed in ;-)
