[Boatanchors] speaker cement

[Dick KF4NS]

Great replies! Thanks to all. I am going to try the 3M Super 77 
contact cement (which I forgot to mention I also have) and will put a 
piece of tissue paper over the sprayed area. By the way, I also have 
Nashua 357 SA and PVC cement and several epoxy cements and Gorilla and 
Elmers and paste and wood glue. I think I have a problem. I need to 
see a therapists before I get so stuck on myself that nobody wants to 
get near me, hi, hi
73, Dick KF4NS
