What glue for dust cap repair?

Hi, I traced a buzzing sound in one of my paradigm studio v1 speakers to a loose dust cap. Would like to repair it myself. What glue should I use? Thank you

It is the same without the high "audio" price tag. Along with many others. They have to be water soluble so they don't eat/melt the foam surrounds https://www.google.com.au/search?q=pva+wood+glue&biw=1441&bih=746&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&sqi=2&ved=0ahUKEwiLltXZhJ3NAhWk6KYKHfexBLgQ_AUIBigB Cheers George

Available at any local Walmart . Looks and handles just like the white glue you get with some refoam kits.

Oh, and it's thick white to start with and dries clear. Cheers George

They may sell glue that is formulated for affixing the woofer cone to the basket, I would think that would be best for your application. Good luck, Dan
