@ghettofunk13 and when you forget a micro piece your cell was damaged may be you have a cell has 10 euro but for a cell to 1500 eur I do not think you hit the tents musicaly ZIO
After watching this video and some others I tried it with my 180gm copy of Warren Zevon "Excitable Boy" LP. I had bought it a couple of weeks ago from a used record and the previous owner did not take good care of the album. Be careful with the amount of glue and have patience Putting too much glue will cause curing time to take 2+ days, and too little, to be brittle and too thin when removing the cured glue and it will break up in pieces. But overall - YES, IT WORKED!!
You went straight from peeling off the glue right onto the turntable. There's your first mistake. You didn't even give it a wet cleaning to make sure there wasn't any glue residue still in the grooves. You're almost begging for your needle to get ruined.
i dont think that i would try this... are you sure that it doesnt do anything whatsoever to the records? like it doesnt leave any residue or get anything deep into the grooves etc? sorry i am new to vinyl and im trying to learn about it. complete noob here, unfortunately i had a cheap junky turntable and it messed up my records..... :( gotta get a new one.. anyway.. lol. yeah im 17, my parents dont have a clue about vinyl (their generation had tapes & cds), so i'm hoping to find some help online
@JohnnyLovelyMusicVid Wood glue is pretty well recommended in the vinylphile community. I could point to audiokarma, audiogon, stevehoffman, polkaudio, headfi, and other forums that have large threads of wood glue cleaning. The chemical properties of wood glue do not bind to vinyl records, but will bind to the dirt and dust trapped in the grooves. I typically maintain my records with solution or anti-static brush, but most used records I acquire get a good wood glue cleaning first.
@JohnnyLovelyMusicVid Experiment first. Use a cheap and dirty record you don't really care about that can be easily replaced. See for yourself how well it works.
I am still used to clean dirty records with descaled/deionized water containing self-dissipant solvent with some tenside added (pril, which dries off almost perfectly). Then this is turned slowly through soft foam or fibercloth pads for this procedure (there were special cleaning bath devices having such mounted to a special arm assembly). To be perfect doing this it would also need a second bath for rinsing with clear deionized water to remove latest particles and solvent remains. Air drying.
Obvious this is a successful method based on all the other videos posted, but I wonder if you have done an A/B type comparison against other cleaning methods such as the basic fluid cleaning method?? thanks!
@streetrepair I have a Nitty Gritty RCM that for the most part does an excellent job of cleaning records but every know and then you get one that's almost impossible. "Glueing" the record gets all of the years of gunk out of the grooves and you stylus even stays cleaner longer. This technique brought a old J.J. Johnson record back from the dead, surface noise was unbearable.
@mta415 I have found that the Nitty Gritty RCM actually grinds the dirt in. A used record store would use one of these RCMs to clean a record when it was sold. After taking them home and playing them, they had excessive noise. I would re-clean them manually and that would get rid of most of the noise. I wouldn't let the store clean any more records for me and with a quick DW cleaning at home, they'd sound great.
@jukeboxexpress1 not expensive at all. A 16 oz. bottle of titebond II is around $5 and I get about 14 LP's out of it which is about 38¢ per LP. I have a RCM and when it don't get a record totally clean I "glue" them. I did all of my know "dirty" albums in one day. Once clean, they're clean. Wish I would have known about this before I bought a RCM!
@mta415 Wow! For that kind of money I clean at least 50 LPs with my Discwasher brush & solution. Oh, and the record is ready to play in less than a couple minutes. Now, when you consider that I have at least 2,000 LPs plus over 10,000 45s and 78s, cleaning supplies add up. I have 2 Discwasher brushes, the first of which I bought in the mid-70's and I also bought a 16oz. bottle of the D3 solution back then. I finally used it up last year. How's that for inexpensive?
@jukeboxexpress1 for regular upkeep of records that are already clean then of course the Discwasher brush and solution is more than sufficient. What we are talking about are records that the gunk in the grooves remain after conventional cleaning techniques. Taking a guess I have about 600-650 records and I try to keep my "toolbox" full with different cleaning/preserving solutions and glueing is one of them.
@mta415 When I get records that are really dirty, ones that I bought used, I take a bowl of warm water add 2 or 3 drops of Dawn dishwashing detergent, dip a toothbrush in the soapy water, run it around the record going with the grooves, run a clean damp sponge around the record, rinse under warm tap water(my water is filtered) and dry with a soft terrycloth towel. The records come out amazingly clean and have never had a sound problem from an undamaged record. Real Cheap and fast!
This works great but your gonna want a good carbon fiber anti static brush. Whenever I peel the glue off the vinyl gets SUPER staticy and all the dust in the room gets sucked to the surface. I suppose doing this in a room with a humidifier would be smart.
Thats just what I have been looking for. 56 years old and I still wonder of all the things I need to learn. Amazing the stuff you should, but don't know.....
@thunderbird948 There have been 100's if not 1000's of people try this and I haven't heard any complaints of damage to the record. I haven't experienced any. Search for the "Wood Glue as Vinyl Cleaner" thread on Audiokarma for an extensive conversation on the topic.

@papafrak ah merci!!! je t avoue que la colle me fait un peu peur surtout que je suis pas tres bricoleuse alors bousiller mes precieux vinyles ca me ferait mal arghhhh ! encore merci et ...Bonne année! :)
Genius!! I have a large collection of records that I hadn't taken care of as well as I should have. Because the sound quality was fairly poor I hadn't played them for a long time. I tried the wood glue method you demonstrated on a couple of LP's & the results were so great I ended up doing the rest of my records. If I hadn't accidentally stumbled on your video my old records would be still gathering dust in storage. Thanks very much for taking the time to share your knowledge/experience.

Hello! What kind of glue are You using: normal or fast-drying?
I used Henkel's Pattex glue (normal version) for cleaning, but the drying period can be very long (5-7 hours) with it.
Many thx. in advance!
ParagonHUN 2 weeks ago
I use the same glue just a thinner coat, with my fan on in the "drying room" it takes about 2-3 hours before its dry. Works very well...
And to the naysayers, it works very well and you'd have to be pretty shallow to screw up such a simple process.
