charic Posted April 13, 2012 Share Posted April 13, 2012 I Just found a crack in one of the speaker cones for my HS50m Any recommendations what to do? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
icastle Posted April 13, 2012 Share Posted April 13, 2012 If it's just the cone then copydex and a few layers of tissue paper on both sides of the crack or tear will sort it out nicely. Aesthetically, a black magic marker pen might be a good investment if you can only find bright pink tissue paper... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

charic Posted April 14, 2012 Author Share Posted April 14, 2012 Here's the piccies, not the best (took them while phone was on low battery) but you can see the extent of the damage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

icastle Posted April 14, 2012 Share Posted April 14, 2012 That's not too bad. Copydex and some white tissue paper torn* to the right sort of size to make a patch will sort that out. Two layers front and rear. Don't be tempted to use PVA or EvoStick though - they set harder than Copydex and that inflexibility will potentially cause another tear. *If you cut the tissue paper then you end up with a straight edged patch which shows up - tear the paper and the randomness helps it blend in.
