dtr20 Posted August 27, 2021 Share Posted August 27, 2021 Does anyone have any tips on glueing the original cane fabric onto grill panels for a pair of heresies? The speakers were beat to hell when I got them. The fabric came off easily and I was able to hand wash the fabric in the tub. The creases are still in the fabric so lining them up should be relatively easy. I was thinking about using speaker woofer surround glue (comes with woofer foam surround repair kits). Any thoughts?

Racer X Posted August 28, 2021 Share Posted August 28, 2021 Contact cement. The cane fabric is definitely a classic look. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Racer X Posted August 28, 2021 Share Posted August 28, 2021 Um, not sure contact cement cares if there is paint or not, but you may want to test that look with a splotch of electrical tape to be sure that is the look you prefer before splattering with paint.

grindstone Posted August 28, 2021 Share Posted August 28, 2021 Wow so that's what the cane can look like? Just fooling. I had to have my cane grilles off when I really cared about listening, FWIW. If it was me, I might take the chance to make another set of grille boards w/ different grille material, too. Keep the originals for non-use or resale, etc. All that said, I have a serious soft-spot for cane and wish more of the old grille stuff (besides instrument amp fabics) were available. If you don't know and just want something to hold until you are, I'd staple the 4 corners--the corners and midpoints are the unwieldy bits (unless you have loose tots, almost nothing is (grand-)kid-proof but well-secured cane comes close).
