Repair Klipsch Heresey ll surround

[ccawker]

Ok.
So i was screwing back my woofer in the cabinet and,ooooooops,screwdriver penetrated the surround but very small,maybe 1/8th inch tear in the middle of the "baffled(?)" part.
Is there a way to seal this as this is so small?

Small piece of tissue paper soaked in rubberized contact cement (something like Durabond Weldwood) on the back side of the surround should work well.

Ah yes, I have never done this myself but I am quite capable. Especially with wood screws. So much so I always cup my hand around the driver to shield the speaker.

I haven't used tissue paper but have used cotton gauze instead. Similarly light weight and able to provide the glue with a form to hold it in place.

Cigarette paper with clear finger nail polish (from inside if possible) or thin nylon mesh.
