This is a video of how to refurbish a speaker cabinet and cover it with vinyl. I used new corner brackets and refurbished the other parts to make it look like new. The music from the video is here / angus-mcgregor

I'm so glad to come across this. I'm about to do this kind of a project with a new bass cabinet and I'm excited about it

Cool playing! Few thoughts on the cabinet: 1. Make sure you have a new, sharp blade on your knife. 2. The contact adhesive goes on the cabinet AND the vinyl before joining them. 3. Draw a straight line on the cabinet sides and the vinyl. Then it's super easy to line them up! :-)

Excellent. My two Ampeg bass cabs are going to be sorted

Did I hear some Meshell Ndegeocello "If That's Your Boyfriend" in there? Great work on the cabinet and more importantly, great bass playing.

The problem here is that CONTACT adhesive suffers from 'plasticiser migration'. This is where the 'plasticiser' in the vinyl cloth attacks the adhesive and makes it 'goo-y' after a couple of months, and the vinyl becomes detached from the cabinet woodwork. Plasticiser is in the vinyl to make it supple, otherwise it would be a stiff sheet of plastic. It also tries, by migration, to make the adhesive supple too when it comes into contact with it... so the adhesive goes soft and goo-y after a month or two! If you are attempting a Fender style of re-covering, where there are overlaps of cloth, it will soon become detached at the overlaps! Using CONTACT adhesive is, frankly, wasting your time and money. You should use some form of EVA (traditional for wraps) or PVA at a push... but both are slow to dry. For Fender style covering, with overlaps, use a Polyurethane based adhesive, but they are not available in spray cans, sadly. There are NO aerosol spray adhesives that are suitable for this job. Some will say VINYL resistant... but in our experience, none really are because there is a very high plasticiser content in vinyl cloth. However, CONTACT adhesive is perfectly OK with TWEED or any other NON-VINYL (Tolex) covering cloths. SESSION has been covering our own cabinets since 1985.

AwardSession Thanks for your advert. The covering is still on and hasn’t come one off.

Not an advert... we don't do covering as a service to anyone... only on our own cabinets. Marshall had this same problem back in the late 1980s and had to recall many amps as a result. Plasticiser migration is a real problem. Sorry if you are offended by these comments.

Contact adhesive (Super 99) melted my tolex. Real issue. Use tolex glue.

Didn't know boring world champion 'Steve Davis' made speakers. I knew he was in a band though.

If you use a good contact adhesive Evo Stik is usually quite a good brand
