Hey guys, just looking for some advice from some of you who are more experienced with DIY speaker building/fixing.
One of the threaded inserts on one of my speakers was stripped so I had to take it out and am now about to be re-installing a new one. Since I have un-screwed the original, the fit when screwing in the new one isn't as tight and spins a little instead of locking in place.
I have already bought some 'Gorilla Glue' and also a tube of 'PL Premium Fast-Grab' -- I am just debating which to use and how to use it. Which would be better for bonding the die-cast zinc inserts to the MDF of the speaker cabinet to ensure it won't spin or pull out? I'm guessing it won't take much to hold it in place but I'm no expert.
One thing I was wondering about -- is it possible for either of these products to wick/soak into the MDF and damage the MDF/cabinet? Also, feel free to include any tips/pointers on the process if there is any potential for a novice to mess this up as they are extremely expensive speakers.
Thanks.
*Edit - Would using epoxy be a better idea?
