JS20 Posted July 9, 2014 Share Posted July 9, 2014 Brilliant! Spread a layer of Durabond II wood glue on record, smooth it out, let it dry and peel off the sheet of glue. It works so well getting into the grooves and grabbing foreign contaminants, you can actually play back the glue sheet on a turntable. The glue actually sounds decent, and many of the clicks or pops you hear from the glue was a piece of material that was removed from the vinyl.

modey Posted July 9, 2014 Share Posted July 9, 2014 lol I'll let some of you guys try it first before dumping solvents all over my valuable vinyls I never listen to it because it's in such bad condition.. if it's just dirty then it'll prove useful. Besides, I already clean my records with isopropyl alcohol; why would another solvent be any different? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JS20 Posted July 9, 2014 Author Share Posted July 9, 2014 lol I'll let some of you guys try it first before dumping solvents all over my valuable vinyls There's a massive thread about this on Audio Karma, general consensus is it works beautifully. The main risk is using too much or too little and not being able to peel it off cleanly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Besides, I already clean my records with isopropyl alcohol; why would another solvent be any different? you use ISO to clean your records? Well that's smart! Because polyvinyl chloride isn`t alcohol soluble. However there are a bunch of different solvents in wood glue and each company`s wood glue varies slightly in terms of ingredients and proportions of said ingredients. Maybe I will try it someday but Ill be skeptical for now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
modey Posted July 9, 2014 Share Posted July 9, 2014 True. Perhaps I'll give it a try on something shitty first. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hugh Mughnus Posted July 9, 2014 Share Posted July 9, 2014 yeah man be careful, just in case. Let me know what the results are, if this is a legit way of cleaning records it'd be good to know! =) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
modey Posted July 9, 2014 Share Posted July 9, 2014 Yeah, like I said though, the surface noise on my (black) copy of SAW2 is unbearable. So even if I screw it up somewhat, it won't really be too much of a loss. Shouldn't have got the cheapest one for sale on discogs, lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Besides, I already clean my records with isopropyl alcohol; why would another solvent be any different? If it's the brown pressing of SAW II then no amount of cleaning will fix the sound; it is a famously terrible sounding vinyl record set. The best thing to do with it is sell it and source out the black vinyl pressing. EDIT: Oops, I see that you JUST posted that your copy is black. It sounds dreadful as well?

modey Posted July 9, 2014 Share Posted July 9, 2014 Yeah, it's just in really bad condition. Kinda sucks! Maybe one day I'll buy another copy.. unless this wood glue thing works, hahah Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest bitroast Posted July 9, 2014 Share Posted July 9, 2014 I'll happily try this. Have a few records that sound like shit and could go a clean. I've got bunged up copies of XTC's Black Sea and Japan's gentlemen take Polaroids that I got for a few dollars each and would be perfect for testing :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Verdant Hickies Posted July 9, 2014 Share Posted July 9, 2014 A friend of mine does this too. Grant or whoever ripped it should have done this with the CWLP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest bitroast Posted July 10, 2014 Share Posted July 10, 2014 I need to buy wood glue first. Went to supermarket and asked if they had any. Lady took me to the stationary section, showed me a packet of super glue and shrugged. Then tried Tony's Hardwares, asked for wood glue and they said they only had the small packets. Showed me where the small packets were supposed to be and told me they were out of the small packets too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alcofribas Posted July 10, 2014 Share Posted July 10, 2014 theoretically the same principle would apply if you used cum right? like semen? it's just that I was thinking it would be cool to use cum or semen to clean your records. especially like if your friend came over and put on your freshly cleaned copy of rushup edge and in your head you're just like "fucking pwn."

Turbo Zwanengestuif Posted July 10, 2014 Share Posted July 10, 2014 I will try both. Cum I can buy I suppose at the supermarket? Ah I just heard a co-worker saying here that you can make cum easily your self. Wood glue is a different story. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alcofribas Posted July 10, 2014 Share Posted July 10, 2014 imo to get the most cum just listen to a wicked snare rash. works every time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest bitroast Posted July 10, 2014 Share Posted July 10, 2014 I asked a gentleman at my supermarket if they had any semen cum and he said he had to check out back to check if they had any. Came back ten minutes later, showed me a packet of super glue and shrugged. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
