IT IS HIGHLY RECOMMENDED THAT YOU READ ALL OF THESE INSTRUCTIONS COMPLETELY ONCE OR TWICE BEFORE
STARTING ANY ACTUAL WORK !!!


ALWAYS USE EXTREME CARE
WHEN USING SHARP KNIVES!
ALWAYS CUT WITH THE KNIFE
POINTING AWAY FROM YOURSELF!!!

THE SPECIFIC DIRECTIONS SHOWN HERE ARE FOR SPEAKERS WITH "FRONT GLUED" SURROUNDS, HOWEVER THE PROCEDURES ARE BASICALLY THE SAME FOR "REAR GLUED" CONES.  SEE YOUR ENCLOSURES FOR DETAILS.


START BY TRIMMING AROUND THE INNER EDGE OF THE GASKET TO FREE THE SURROUND.  TRIM CAREFULLY AS YOU'LL WANT TO REUSE THE GASKET. THE GASKET IS ONE OF THE FEW PARTS THAT IS USUALLY REUSEABLE IN REFOAMING/RECONING IF YOU ARE CAREFUL REMOVING IT.


NEXT CAREFULLY CUT THE
SURROUND FREE OF THE CONE.  ON BADLY ROTTED FOAMS, YOU MIGHT BE ABLE TO SIMPLY "WIPE" THE SURROUND OFF; HOWEVER, EXTRA CARE SHOULD BE USED WHEN THE FOAM IS BADLY ROTTED AS THE CONE EDGE MAY BE WEAK AS WELL.


VACUUM UP THE FOAM BITS.  KEEPING THE WORKAREA CLEAN WILL HELP IN ASSEMBLING A QUALITY REFOAMED SPEAKER.
