How do you fix drumming

How do you fix drumming on ears with earliners?

Just curious to see the many ways to fix them.

Rehydrate, cut a slit in the inner ear skin from top to bottom, slit can be as long as you need to add glue and fit properly, when dry, fix slit with epoxy, then repaint. Your liner was a little to wide, thus the drumming.

As Paul B. said. Also, make sure to test fit earlines and trim accordingly, they should almost allow the skin to look loose on the inside when properly fitted. I also clean both the earlier and ear skin with lacquer thinner and then rough up the liner and use a good adhesive.

like stated above you can cut a slit. I prefer to use an injector and squirt glue in it

that's if you don't mind a thick ear.

If you have a true drumming issue and either don't rehydrate and move skin around or slice skin and fix as stated above, but just inject glue, I find it hard to believe that if you try to flatten that area down to the liner, that it won't eventually drum again. Now, if you inject the glue to sort of fill the void created by the drumming, you might be able to minimize the drumming but it would also be thicker there due to the layer of glue being used to fill that void.
Of course all this depends on the size and amount of drumming trying to be fixed

i understand what you mean now. yes wet the skin a little so it will stretch.

99% of the time I catch it before its dry all the way and am able to rehydrate when needed and lay it back down.
