Cleaning Vinyl Records With Wood Glue

Cleaning Vinyl With Wood Glue. Titebond II is applied, dried, and peeled. Works well to pull dirt from the groove. Vinyl and Woodglue have the same chemical make up the glue never saturates the record. Never had a record warp by using this method...try on a few junk records first...Enjoy!!

@fflynnful it's the part of the record with no grooves...or the trail out groove.

@GlassOrchidAftermath Can you explain how you connected your turntable to that Fender Deluxe?.. Im a guitarist first so that'd just be awesome to use an amp for my records as well

[GlassOrchidAftermath]

@musicismandatory I went to Radio Shack and got RCA --> 1/4 adapters...plugged them into input 1 and 2. That easy! Cheers!

[musicismandatory]

@GlassOrchidAftermath But won't that ruin the speakers? I was looking up some of this stuff and people said it wouldn't be clear or the amp wouldn't be able to handle the frequency. From what i can tell, yours is working fine? BTW is your amp an actual vintage Tweed Deluxe or a reissue..

[GlassOrchidAftermath]

@musicismandatory It's reissue so the clean tone is "cleaner" then it would be say on a Hotrod Deluxe. I've done it before with cheaper amps and tables, and it's hard to get a good sound. My turntable has a gain control for the output so you can choke the signal a bit...so it's not overpowered before you get to the amp (no distortion to the sound). I'm sure a Wah Wah pedal would do more do more damage to the speaker then playing a clean controled turntable signal through it.

Why titebond II over I??

[GlassOrchidAftermath]

@InvaderOfYourHeart No difference with records. In woodworking II can be used outside more than I can.

[bencheshire]

Your description is incredible! Sounds like youve thought this through more than I have. Chemistry of vinyl and wood glue are same, amazing thought if its true.

[bencheshire]

I would be worried id pull off some of the surface that was supposed to be there. Is it just me or did the record sound heaps more vibrant without glue residue all over it? Id be careful with this method, but still thumbs up, interesting video.

PS, audio is loud and clear on my iphone.

@richhead2011 You shouldn't give a video a bad rating just because you have cheap speakers. It's people like you who give a bad rating on good videos for no good reason.

@rocknrollrocks98 haha nice comment

[kwinsky17]

WOW!



[Discozound]

This record would fit great into my hardstyle mix!

[DanFiebiger]

It would have helped a alot if you could have found a way to connect your amp's signal to your computer audio (even if just on one channel, with your camera mike on the other channel) so we can REALLY hear the difference in sound quality before and after your cleaning. (Why can't they make affordable consumer video cameras with audio line and external mike inputs, like any cheap audio tape recorder used to have, so we can make videos with better sound?)

@wtf66611 why?

[faddone]

@fflynnful The part of the record that does not contain any grooves. In other words, the part between the label and the song on the record.
