THIS IS ABOUT THE RIGHT AMOUNT OF GLUE FOR THIS PROCESS.
USING THE SHORT BRUSH, SPREAD THIS BEAD AROUND THE INNER EDGE OF THE
SURROUND. SPREAD THE GLUE UP TO THE ROLL OF THE SURROUND... DO NOT GLUE
THE ROLL! (Fig 20) YOU ONLY WANT TO TREAT THE CONE EDGE AND SURROUND EDGE. THIS WILL ALLOW SOUND WAVES TO MAKE A NICE TRANSITION OFF THE EDGE OF THE CONE.
ALLOW THE GLUE TO DRY.
THE ADHESIVE IS ALSO A CONE TREATMENT... HELPING TO COUNTERACT WEAKNESS DUE TO AGE OR MOISTURE.
LATER, THE ADHESIVE CAN BE THINNED WITH WATER, AND ACTUALLY PAINTED ONTO THE ENTIRE CONE IF YOU WISH TO GIVE IT "A WET LOOK" FINISH, OR AS PROTECTION. THIS TECHNIQUE IS VERY BENEFICIAL ON OLDER CONES THAT HAVE DRIED OUT, OR HAVE BEEN MOISTURE DAMAGED. IF YOU WANT TO DO THIS, THE ADHESIVE SHOULD BE THINNED WITH WATER TO THE CONSISTANCY OF SKIM MILK. DO NOT USE FULL STRENGTH!
WHEN THE GLUE HAS DRIED, APPLY A BEAD AROUND THE INNER EDGE OF THE FRAME BEING CAREFUL TO GET GLUE AROUND THE SCREW HOLES, AND MAKE AN AIRTIGHT SEAL BETWEEN THE SURROUND AND THE FRAME. RUN ANOTHER BEAD AROUND THE FRAME AT THE OUTER EDGE OF THE FOAM (Fig 21).
