First Time I have Seen What I Purchased in 1978

[ahoustondj]

These are the 15" Low Frequency transducers that is in my JBL scoops that I purchased in 1978. I refurbished the cabinets and had to temporarily remove the speakers. They are the 2205j (Now Vintage) They are a beast and very heavy, They (The Transducers) each weigh as much as some of those plastic powered speakers. Tomorrow they will be on duty with their other pair at my club for a regular Dance Party not Karaoke.

The before and after closeup pics of the cabinet's surface using the Duratex Coating. The cabinets look wonderful. I should have taken complete before and after pics. I will take a full "after" pic tomorrow during daylight.

Spackle! I used Elmers Professional Grade Wood Filler to fill in the major dings (I actually had disintegrated parts of wood in mine. The wood filler dried harder than the wood itself.
I bought a one gallon pail and ended up using only one half of that for 4 cabinets.

Yep! The guy at Acry-Tech (place that makes Dura-Tex) TOLD me to use it!!
he said Dura Tex doesn't like wood filler, and to just use spackle, Its way easier

I have Chunks out of some of my cabs..And alot of dings and dents...

Hmmmmmm..... well it worked fine with mine. I have had problems with spackle crumbling if it got hit in the same spot again. Maybe he is right. We'll see what happens. I hope it works out for both of us. BTW I bought and used that textured foam roller. I did the first two scoops and about a few days afterwards did the other two. I kept the roller submerged in soapy water and reused it. I can still reuse it again.

Cool..I'm going to roll mine too...

Saving money for more P.A. & amps to power them

When you first roll it on, press hard to "push" it into the surface and then with the last few passes roll lightly over the same area so the texture can be formed. It only requires one coat. I did brush on the repaired areas first though before applying the roller!

When you guys repair/fill cabinets forget the spackling and wood fillers, use BISONITE it is expensive but you never have to worry about it chipping or falling out!

You can order direct from Rowe and get it in larger quanities at a better price!

I used this stuff to repair a broken cinder block on the side of my house 20 years ago, glued a broken brick on my back steps around the same time. Filled in a broken sub box (plywood punched by a fork lift)! And of course bedded many rifles with it over the years!
