Sign in to disble this ad
I have a speaker cab where the badge in the middle of the cab fell off (most likely due to heat while we were on the road this summer). There's a ton of residual glue on the grill cloth where the badge was. I was wondering if anyone knows:
a) How to get the old glue off without damaging the grill cloth
b) What is the best glue/adhesive to use to put the badge back on so (hopefully) it won't fall off again.
Thanks in advance. |

Which is already a nice flat surface to glue the badge back on to (better than grill cloth).
A drop or two of crazy glue, and your good to go.

Thanks in advance. | A) acetone
B) who cares? Unless it's a B15 , put it in a plastic sandwich bag in your junk drawer in your kitchen and forget about it. I am of course assuming you are not a paid endorser of said amp. |
