Dave MacKay Posted July 13, 2021 Share Posted July 13, 2021 The bottom panels (woofer access panel) on my 1986 La Scalas need some repair because some plys have started to delaminate, perhaps from being exposed to damp. My plan is to remove the panel and either re-glue the plys or replace the panel with a new piece of 3/4" Baltic Birch. There is a gooey substance on the inside of that panel where it fastens to the bottom of the cabinet.I imagine the substance is an acoustic sealant, not an adhesive. What is the recommended sealant to use when replacing the panel? A caulking-like acoustic sealant, a foam gasket tape, or something else? Thank-you, Dave MacKay near Toronto, Canada 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MEH Synergy Posted July 13, 2021 Share Posted July 13, 2021 I used the foam gasket tape pictured with my khorns when I replaced a woofer with great results. It will be air tight and can be accessed easily later if need be without breaking anything. That would get my vote. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
