    Black Ashe touchup paint, how to go about doing this?

    Ok I'm stupid and accidentally spilled a tiny spot of superglue on the b&w htm4 black ashe and luckily its on the back part of the speaker and was wondering, has anyone ever retouched a paint on the b&w speakers especially the 800 series and how would you go about doing this?

    I hear alot of places say use acetone to take off the superglue but then the acetone will take off the finish to the wood, that means after I do that could I just retouch up that spot?

    I would use a hair dryer and hot soapy water to try and get it off. What kind of super glue was it? The kind that drives hard or soft?

      Goo Gone should take the glue off without wrecking the speakers. That's what I'd do. Take a little bit and put it on the glue as much as possible without putting it on the speaker (though it shouldn't really hurt it).

      You might need to put it on a few times to get through all the glue...but that's all you should do.

        You might try debonder

        Tower Hobbies carries an expansive collection of RC cars, RC airplanes, RC boats, model trains, sot cars, and supplies for all hobbyists.


        It will disolve CA glues (aka super glue). Don't know if will hurt your finish.

        To be honest I'd consider just leaving it as is - you might cause more harm that good by trying to remove it. Keep that stuff away from your speakers!

            Super glue removal
            by Amphiprion
            This is a bit OT, but I was working on an audio project the other day and managed to get some super glue on my dedicated electronics bench. This has a formica top, so I tried out some various solvents to try and get rid of it. Goo Gone, Denatured Alcohol, and Acetone were the first at bat. Acetone was...

            Note on Wood Glue and Gorllia Glue
            by ---k---
            Because the subject of glue comes up often around here, I wanted to mention to everyone that this months Fine Woodworking Magazine did a test of several of our favorite glues. The results were somewhat surprising (or not), and exposed something that is commonly repeated to be false.

            Beginner paint question
            by impala454
            I've seen a few threads on painting and getting high gloss piano black finishes, etc etc, but I just have a pretty basic MDF paint question. I have a simple 2-way design I built as my first DIY speaker project, and am ready to finish it. For the moment lets just say I don't have an air compressor...

            Discussion of Green Glue/CLD wrt box building
            by jquin
            Hi all

            I was hoping to start some discussion about green glue as a constrained layer damping (CLD) medium.
            From my understanding it is not exactly suited for this.
            I have searched this site but still have found some ambiguities.



            So we take...

            Blotchy Paint
            by Gir
            I was going to wait until I had this speaker finished, but I've run into a bit of a problem. I was using spray paint that was laying around the house, and it's that H20 latex glossy black. The problem is that the paint is coming out blotchy, it's not spraying very evenly. I have to spray a thick coat...
