Thanks. I still have my original question: Can I just re-glue the loose section with DAP, or do I need to go for a complete rebuild? I'm not intimidated by the gluing process. But, why not just tack down the "loose" wires and move on?
Follow Ups:
That's what I mean, yes. At this point you can start to glue back on just the segments that need it.
Hmmm, perhaps I should have not erased some stuff that I wrote and then edited out. Here are a few that remained in the paste buffer.
-- Clean the Mylar under each wire to be reglued with acetone but keep the good areas untouched. Carefully -- and on a fully horrizontal level -- acetone-moist cotton swabs and thin brushes can help to contain the treatment areas. You don't want the acetone running up to -- and weakening -- other good areas. I do the same cleanup with acetone under each segment of wire to be glued...a bit tedious but seemingly worth it.
-- DAP is good and proven. So is E-6000, which I have adopted since Neolith first reported about it a few years ago. Both have worked on my MMGs, which get tremendously abused at times. (and both have failed under some situations. If they do, E-6000 tends to do so more "graciously".)
Taking things slowly at first may reveal issues not yet seen, without aggravating what is good. Unless this speaker suffered a strumming type of trauma across the wires (that you never saw), there's a chance that the remainder of the still-glued sections could be weak anyway. Then, it would have to be a rebuild. Hopefully, this is not the case.
Thanks JBen. I will check into the E-6000.
