AndreG. Posted December 10, 2021 Author Share Posted December 10, 2021 One other thing concerning glue... How best to fix/ glue the Klipsch badges back onto the fabric? When i look at the one still attached to its grill, it look like some pressure has been applied, but what glue? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndreG. Posted December 13, 2021 Author Share Posted December 13, 2021 Progress: Caulk insides of the Motor Boards, still needs some cleaning. Putty on the magnets. One spot where putty is still a bit too thick, rest done. I didn´t make life easier for myself by applying it too thick in the first place, this stuff is tough! Lesson learned... On the back panels i have to put it on here and there a second time, haven´t mastered the technique of applying it in one go without cavities... Need more sanding paper. Next: Sanding of the naked grill-boards. Sanding of the veneer and trying to get rid of some small dents. I found video that shows how to lessen dents in veneer and if that works i´ll post the link. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AndreG. Posted December 15, 2021 Author Share Posted December 15, 2021 The following will be an old hat to our carpenter friends, but it´s a new one to an amateur like me. Here´s my results from today's try-out: This is the dent, right in the middle on the front edge... This is what it looked like after. You soak the spot with a few dabs of water and then use a hot-iron on the dent. As i understand it, the water, which entered the wood, evaporates with enough power to force the dented wood outward, lessening the dent. I had to repeat the procedure a few times. Maybe I´ll give another try tomorrow and then sand out the rest. I´m positive, this will take care of that. Here´s the link to the video (German only): 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndreG. Posted December 19, 2021 Author Share Posted December 19, 2021 A bit of work done today, fixed the putty on the back-panels and worked on the grilles. This is what the fabric can look like, once cats have had their way... What to do with the remains of the old glue? Leave it, as base for the new glue, sand it of (might be tough to do...). Who has done this before, input welcome, thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who has done this before, input welcome, thanks! I would leave it as it is and would connect it with the new glue. The old adhesive has now bonded with the mat so that the new coating will hold even better. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AndreG. Posted December 19, 2021 Author Share Posted December 19, 2021 I removed the old fabric, i have the new from Crites. I'm thinking to spray the adhesive on the old and then fix the new fabric to it. I also plan to use some black spray-paint to get it dark again. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If fabric spray, go light spray as possible. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A silicone spray is enough to renew the paint, you must spray evenly over the surface, try it first on a corner to see the result. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AndreG. Posted March 12, 2022 Author Share Posted March 12, 2022 A bit of progress: My makeshift tool against sanding through the veneer on the front edges: Veneer was chipped on one cabinet from the beginning ... I caught an edge and tore of some more... Let´ s see what I can glue back in. But all in all it worked well. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
