'51
When I was younger I would build wooden model airplanes. To cover the wings and body we used tissue paper and dope.
the dope would make the tissue stiff, but not heavy and still flexible. I have repaired speakers with the same method. The tissue was light enough to vibrate with the rest of the speaker. The method is to fit the patch over the hole, hold the tissue over the hole and wet the tissue with water to conform to the shape. Before the patch is completely dry, put the dope on the patch. The airplane dope will soak thourgh the tissue into the speaker making a perfect light-weight patch that will not interfere with the movement of the speaker. I should mention to only use the tissue paper used on model planes which should be available at a decent hobby shop ( if you can still find one)
