What is the best way to take an indentation out of my Isobarik tweeter ?
Big straw and a inhale ?

The T27 is easy because it has a flat plate mounting. Get your lips around it to form a seal (yes, really) and suck gently. It should pop back out.

Be tender and not too passionate  |

PERVERTS.
The T27 is easy. A real slapper.
Must admit I could never get the sellotape method to work.

Right. Didn't expect that.
I won't take them out to dinner first

Hehe.
Vacuum cleaner with fitment that fits nicely to the dome size.
Start gently and ramp up the suck until it pops out. You should gently hold the cone so you are not pulling the suspension as well.

Thanks Steve
Mouth to tweeter didn't work so I wondered about a vacuum applied gently or a sink plunger

Sunk plunger will not seal and would require a hard to control level of force (causing more damage), to provide enough compression of the rubber to create a vacuum.

Sucking a tweeter dent out has always worked for me. However, a T27 has a hard dome so you have to suck HARD!

Stop being a wuss, man.
All it takes is an effective seal - and a decent suck.
I was surprised at how effective it was. So much so, I dented it again to see that it wasn't just luck.

I poked my softdomes quite a few times, tried cellotape, nope, what worked for me, toiletpaper tube and give it a suck, popped right out.
Not perfect but I am not going to start heating it to get the creases out, good enuff.
