Anybody here ever done it? I imagine if I ever did my record would be glued to the turntable the next day, but it sure does look neat!


Cleaning a Record with Wood Glue

Looks cool. I'd fuck it up for sure.

Wood glue is a good name for jizz.

I'm gonna try this with an old record I don't care about and see how it goes.

it seems like it would work, once the glur solidifies it would pull right off and take all the crud stuck inthe grooves with it.

That's the idea! One would think that it would work with regular glue or rubber cement as well then though.

I just poop and pee on my records

Rubber cement has acetone in it. I wouldn't put that on a record.

But...it would clean it, right?...

That's gross, have some integrity maan!

Maybe? Acetone is a pretty strong solvent. I wouldn't fuck around with that on my records.

Wood Glue Record

stupid question: when following the grooves to clean a record, you should move the brush counter-clockwise around the record, right?

Why do these people put the needle on the record with the turntable spinning?

33_RPM · « **Reply #15 on:** January 26, 2012, 08:08:35 PM »

Because that's how you do it?

bitethecurb · « **Reply #16 on:** January 26, 2012, 08:37:05 PM »

Really? Why? Seems like it's more likely to damage the record/needle.

angry ryan · « **Reply #17 on:** January 26, 2012, 08:40:35 PM »

I don't think I've ever owned a record player that didn't start spinning before putting the needle down.

bitethecurb · « **Reply #18 on:** January 26, 2012, 08:45:56 PM »

I've owned 3 record players and only one started spinning before I put the needle down and it was an old, shitty one.

I've never even thought about putting the needle down before the record is revolving. Weird.

If I tried the wood glue thing, my turntable would probably be ruined and there would be glue all over the center label.

This.

Also, I saw a tutorial about this a while ago but I can't remember where, otherwise I'd link it. I would never try it; I would make a mess and ruin shit.

That...that was a joke. That f it was dissolved it would be clean...because it would be dissolved.

yeah. this isnt insane or anything. what is the point of getting a record this clean exactly?

iron naden · « **Reply #23 on:** January 26, 2012, 11:48:36 PM »

To cut down on pops and hisses.

Less pops, clicks and distortion. Also extends the life of the record.
