Gluesticks

What is the best glue for putting new speaker grill cloth onto a plastic grill frame?

I have a pair of Klipsch Synergy F3 tower speakers. The black cloth on the speaker grills is worn, "pilling" up in several places, and a just generally looking like crap. I want to take the old cloth off, and replace it with fresh cloth. The grills themselves are a hard plastic, lattice-like structure. I've replaced grill cloth before on wooden frames, which was easy. The question is - what kind of glue should I use to glue new grill cloth onto PLASTIC frames? I was thinking of using a hot melt glue gun, but the grills are so long (about 38"), I figured the glue would dry and harden at one end before I was able to run the bead all the way to the other end. Thanks! **aww, what's the matter LOL123? Did your dumbazz, incomprehensible question get deleted? (p.s. - I apologize for using a 6 syllable word... I know how confusing big words are to you)

1. Gorilla glue?
2. I wouldn't use gorilla glue. It holds great but you'll never do the job again because it will never come apart. I would consider using two-sided tape. Carpet tape works nicely and foam mounting tape might be good if there is clearance for the added thickness. In adhesives, I would try something silicone based with a 15 minute working time. I would use spring clamps to hold the fabric while attaching it to the frame. Good luck!
3. Hello, I work at The Home Depot and I also worked with building speakers in my old truck as well. One thing I have found out throughout the years working in the stores is what glues work and which ones don't. One that I found in your particular situation that works very well is Clear Projects Adhesive by Liquid Nails. It's not like the adhesive that they usually sell, it's a very strong and durable clear silicone based glue that goes on and dries totally clear. So unlike a lot of other glues out there, it won't look unsightly if any are to be seen. It works just like any other glue, so be sure to clamp down and not put too much on the surfaces to be bonded. With any adhesive, make sure to test a small area first to double check the adhesive will not discolor, react, or destroy what it is being attached to. Gorilla Glue is a polyurethane based glue, and from personal experience, it is known to react to certain plastics and worse, it expands 4 times the size you put on the surfaces to be bonded, so be mindful of that.
