I have a sub with the grill cloth starting to pull away. Rather than re-cloth the whole thing I first want to try and repair it.

What do I use and how do I go about it without getting glue all over the place? Links to video some good tutorials would be helpful.

Looks like it's torn right at the top middle. I would disconnect (or cut) along the top, stretch, and then reglue & clamp until it dries. Good as new.

If you don't have enough play, buy some replacement grill cloth. It'll cost you about $5 worth of fabric. Available at fabric stores by the yard or on Amazon: https://amzn.to/401u3w8

From the looks of it, it may not be torn, but I'll bet the glue has come off the fabrice.
I just use a hot glue gun, run a thin bead on the back of the grille, stretch the fabric and hold it into the bead of glue, and let it cool. Has worked every time for me.

Put a super hot bead on, then flatten it with a popsicle stick or a power resistor lead. Very Happy
