Falling down with my fiberglass T39 and DR200

[Robby Hoinsky]

I also used hot glue to put in the diffuser. It was an easy way to make sure that it followed the slight bend of the piezo array. I kept trying to figure out how to clamp it down while the glue dried. I figured that since I used hot glue to put the crossover in place, it would be strong enough for a light dowel (behind a grill). Plus, when I moved the coil in my crossover, it worked so well that I took up a layer of ply with the glue.

I'd be worried about how regular hot glue would hold up on plastic in the long haul. If it comes off at a gig, no biggie, we've been running without them for how many years now? If you can scuff up where it glues with some 40 grit, it'll hold better.

Gorilla two part epoxy is very strong and it's paintable too.

I used a dab of Shoe Goo on wooden dowels. Let it set overnight. So far, holding with a Kung Foo grip.

On the subject of hot glue there are a lot of different sticks for bonding different materials:

+1 - I've used hot glue a lot for various crafts and projects and have never had an issue with durability. I also mounted the plastic dowel diffuser in front of the melded array with hot glue. Was very quick and I think it will be fine. If I have issues with it falling off down the road I'll let you know

Update on my hot-glued dowels: One has fallen off. When I put them on, I could pick up the whole DR200 with it. It appears the being in the cold made it fall off on its own.

I just cut mine a 32/inch over and let the cab hold them in?


granted, I just figured out i'm using pipe that's a bit bigger then whats in the plans (sounds ok - for now...)
