Thiel Owners

It's probably caulk - I don't know what kind. In my time we used acrylic latex painter's caulk with good results, and sometimes hotmelt adhesive to build a mound. But, sealing was always be a big hassle; hotmelt and caulk are both permanent, which leaves few options when a leak develops. so I am experimenting with something else. Permatex type II non-hardening sealant from the automotive store. It softens with heat for removal and resealing. I'm working the Ptex between the wires, putting a Mortite dam on the bottom / outside, and adding a Ptex mound inboard, then hitting it with hot air to settle it. So far, so good.

@Rob, I definitely think it would be good to document problems and their solutions that we've had with our Thiels.  That'd be a good addition to the Thiel models blog actually.  I found out about the air chamber when I took my blown midrange into Audio Consultants and they told me that was a potential problem.

Excellent idea for your guys to post any issue/problem(s) that potentially threaten driver integrity. Stay safe.
