recoating cloth surround on Polk speakers

Posts: 13
I have just completed my refurbishing a pair of Polk mini monitors. Now I think the old cloth surround on the PR's are leaking air. Has anyone every had this problem? If you have, what did you use to seal the surrounds. I have tried to search the site, but did not fine any info.(maybe I don't know how to search). Also checked the web and came up with about a dozen different methods, from spray paint, silicon white glue mixed with water and many more. I would like to hear from someone that had the problem and found a solution. Thank for you help.

Every manufacturer had their own proprietary compound back then. I believe Rola or CTS made them and Polk added the front baffle and weight to them.
The only company I know of that makes a re-sealer is : http://www.ebay.com/itm/ACOUSTIC-RESEARCH-CLOTH-SURROUND-WOOFERS-LARGE-SEALANT-KIT-ALSO-KLH-ALLISON-/162130253113?hash=item25bfb75539
