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.

I think Notec is right, that seems the best way to use this process. However, in my experience, wood glue is far from ideal for the task, too hard to remove completely. I've had much better (and safer) results with Elmer's water soluble school glue. Comes in either green or clear gels. Cleaning with your record cleaning machine after using the Elmer's gel glue will dissolve any trace of adhesive that might remain. I recently purchased Ry Cooder's newest release and there was a speck of fibrous debris pressed into the vinyl and no amount of cleaning with my Nitty Gritty would phase it. The glue treatment removed the material and even though there is a visible depression where the material was removed, it plays without so much an audible tic.
