Klipsch Tangent T-30 side panel

[gary7]

I have a pair of Klipsch Tangent T-30 with a missing side panel. I've a board that will fit. Looks like the original was glued on. What would be a good glue to use on it?

 

[gary7]

Anyone?

Any wood glue will do.

If one wall was loose/off, it might not hurt to run a bead of PL-whatever construction adhesive around all the joints. You can also read various approaches at the manufacturer's forum (not just Tangents, KG's too, etc) as well. There were certain periods where adhesives were better than others.

Wait.... Missing a whole side panel?

Wait.... Missing a whole side panel?

Yep.

They were definitely cheaply made in comparison.

Pics.

Yeah, they seemed to have times where their people couldn't seem to get the glue in the actual channel during assembly.

Whole panel - Gorilla Glue

Whole panel - Gorilla Glue

What I was thinking. ACE hardware has a shelf board that's close in size and looks. Just needs to be trimmed in length.

Whole panel - Gorilla Glue

I’m a master carpenter with over 30 years experience in fine carpentry, cabinet making and luxury home building. I would not recommend gorilla glue, ifs extremely messy and nearly impossible to clean up. The fact that the glue foams out as it cures makes it difficult to work with
