    Gorilla Glue on speaker cabinet !!

    Hi All,

    When I moved last fall, a friend that was helping me move busted one of my speaker platforms/ tripods. It's made of some sort of composite material so I was able to repair it with Gorilla Glue. However, in the jockeying of the 80lb speaker, I inadvertently got some of this glue on the Rosenut cabinetry!!. Now that the days are longer and more sun is coming into the living room, I can see the Gorilla glue smudging on the speaker cabinet.

    Now I know this is a long shot, and anything powerful enough to remove the glue fingerprint smudging will likely destroy the cabinetry itself!. Any advice or ideas?. :roll:

    Hey Dan,

    You may be able to rub it out using a V fine abrasive or steel wool.
    This would necessitate re-finishing the cabinet, however.
    At that point, I doubt the finish on both cabinets would match.

    Hopefully those with much more finishing experience have a better solution.
    Maybe try posting in the DIY forum?

      Re-finishing the cabinets is NOT an option. It's not that bad to warrant it. However, it has somehow affected the sound of the speaker!! :rofl:
