Ooops

Has anyone else here left the dust covers on their speakers too long and ended up with two tone speakers as a result?! I took mine off for the first time in a long time and the cabinet area covered by the dust cover is considerably lighter! Does it even itself out after a while if i leave them off for a good while?Tongue Tied

Re: Ooops

That can be an issues with real wood veneers as they fade in sunlight over time. I doubt if it'll even out unless you can cover the part that's already been sun-bleached.


 My dust covers only ever get put on when friends/relatives bring their brats kids around.

We usually find a few models tend to do this after a while - it's usually lighter, beech/maple type finished that it show up on more.

Re: Ooops

I have a similiar problem i have to over come at work with dust covers on dining tables. Use      T-Cut or watered down white tooth paste on on a area hard to see. Varnish  or laquer is basicaly a clear paint so it responses well to t-Cut, is excelllent on watet stains too.

Re: Ooops

An interesting suggestion! Im just going to leave the dust covers off for a good while and see if it evens out a bit, as i would think the lighter wood should darken up quite a bit no its not covered by dust covers? If that fails i may try the t cut route, but the natural oak finish on the neats is quite a textured grain so im not sure if that will affect the outcome........
