Celestion DL8 modding.

'Erks' Alert! 2 steps forward, 1 step back possibly this weekend....

So...mindfull of the way the rubber parts have reacted to chemicals in the past, I thought it'd be best to try and avoid too much PlastiDip spluttering onto the rubbery surrounds and made up a simple template...


And "Et Vwahlahr" as the French say...


Then another coat....


And whilst thats drying lets get busy with the Steel Plating...


Whahey!


It's all going so well....... but wait.... oooerrrr...


Errr......close up...


There seems to have been a reaction (again!) btween the Bison Kit and the PlastiDip in the centre of the speaker, looks like the PlastiDip has shrunk and melted a layer of the Bison Kit or summat. It's more cosmetic than anything but it does look pants!

Meh!

Leave for two weeks and then spray Plastidip again.

Doc Mod cones never look "nice", they *sound* nice.

They certainly did, I hope they continue to do so in pig-dog-ugly mode too

[Dr Bunsen Honeydew]

BTW I get that reaction but it doesn't bother me, I just give it another spray a week or two down the line. The drying time of the Bison depends how thick you did it obviously. Some times I get quite big bubbles as the volatile gases from the drying Bison have no where to go when the Plastidip dries. I pop them and just push them down with my finger.

They don't look that bad ,just an annoying imperfection . Sound ?

[Dave the bass]

Sound ?

I'll let you know when everythings dry and fine and assembled.

More news as it's made.

[Dr Bunsen Honeydew]

Though listening as drying is not a problem. Music wont change now.

[Dr Bunsen Honeydew]

Sorry for impatience.

[Dr Bunsen Honeydew]

Not sorry for impatience. Have you given up the project.
