I have played with things as diverse as Elmer's glue to hairspray on speaker cones.They all change the sound.You can apply the same product the same way to two different brand midranges and hear different changes.In other words what constituted an improvement in one did not give the same result in the other(it often sounded worse).I was having a big problem with the cones on 15" woofers tearing for a while(pro sound use).In a horn cabinet the cones were tearing radially from the voice coil to the surround(looked like a starfish)and with another customer they tore in a circle just under the dust cap.Cerwin Vega used to treat their cones by dipping the neck of the cone in laquer to stiffen them up.I tried many combinations before realizing that it was an amplifier problem not a speaker problem(the starfish guy was the clue.I tried three different woofer types with different cone and surround types.They all failed in the identical fashion).As I see it the question is surface treatment or soak it in,and of course how much? I'm sure there is no cookbook response that would please all.
