Wood glue method of record cleaning


Anyone ever try it? Sounds interesting but I'm afraid of any residue left in the groove ripping the stylus off the cantilever.

Hafta agree, seems inefficient and potentially dangerous to your cart. There are other ways and soaps (not "audiophile washing solution soaps") that are certainly cheaper than a goodly dose of wood glue.
What's all this about teflon tape and what part of his Bose 901s does he stick it to? I can imagine that doing virtually anything to a Bose 901 would cause improvement so it aint that big of a stretch.
where do you find teflon tape and beside insulating wire what is it used for? Maybe Mylar tape would be better for speaker improvement and or repair?
Johnnyb53,
Doesn't that tape add considerable mass to your tonearm? I am no analog person so I don't know if that is a desired outcome in addition to dampening it. It is foamed so I guess it is not all that dense and heavy.
I was under the impression that the wood glue people were experimenting with was just the generic yellow opaque "Elmers" type glue. I haven't attempted myself it for the reasons you state. I can clean manually but I also have a record cleaning machine. I would like to get the ultra sonic cleaning machine. I am a fan of that technology having seen it work incredibly well on other things.
