Sure !! Techno... well for what i found on my Fryette FB cab was a very thin layer of foam but it went off disintergrate tear off after i took out the p50es with some good amount of degoo it liquid....

I probably go with this instead to cut off some costing as i am from singapore and shipping cost is terrible these days....

Should be the material used for speakers closed cell neoprene... but ya need a gasket cutter to go round ... will ask what material normally used too if Jim is cool to tell i guess he will ...
 
Why don't you simply buy a gasket tape? Lazada, Shoppee, ...

The front-mount speaker gaskets always came in the box with new Celestions, and relatively few ever end up using them. They were much thinner than the gaskets already attached for standard rear-mounts. Surely Celestion would send you some for a fee,,,,,I'd hope anyways.
 
That is a great idea to just cut the gaskets out of thin foam.

As many people on here who have purchased brand new Celestions in the past I would think someone would have some spare front-mount gaskets just sitting idle in the box stuffed away deep in their gear closet. They were always in quarters with adhesive already on them. Just peel and stick.

When did they include those? The ones I've purchased haven't come with any.

The speaker I had to buy a gasket for a few years ago was a new Celestion and it definitely didn't have a gasket in the box.
 
Well then they must no longer include them. The last factory-boxed Celestions I bought were V30s in 2007 and more in the early 2010s.
All of those included them. They were thinner foam and came in quarters/fourths. You'd just peel them off the paper and stick them from one screw hole to the next screw hole.

Celestions I've bought from Avatar in more recent years were not in factory boxes. I mean they were in boxes probably from the factory, but not with all the Celestion logo and jazz to decorate the box. Just plain cardboard. They never have included the gaskets.
