Cleaning a Record with Wood Glue
Vložit

- I wanted to try cleaning an LP with wood glue. It made for quite an improvement - and I've read that multiple cleanings continue to clean up the snaps crackles and pops.
Edit: I know I used way too much glue in this vid. :) But it was my first try so I wanted to get it right. You can use considerably less glue and still get the same effect - but it cuts the dry time way down. Just be sure that you get the whole record covered!
Hey, I tried this. I even tried playing the glue like a record. It was crazy. It was a country song and it played backwards. In fact the singer got his truck back, his dog back, and even his girl back.
Ha!
😂😂😂😂😂
Toby Keith - Who’s that man?
DUDE 😂😂😂😂😂
I love a happy ending.
I tried doing this to both sides of a record. Now I have a coffee table with a record glued to it. It a great conversation piece. Especially since I borrowed the record.

If you're borrowing it then why are you cleaning it?
Exceptional! My original 1960's albums, which sounded like bacon and eggs being fried, are now restored. I am in awe. Cheers.
had you tried using soap on water on your records, or other cleaning methods before?
What would the result sound like with a recording of bacon and eggs being fried?
Mmmmm bacon 🤪
hahahah great comparison!

I did this and it added great timber to the tone of the music

ok, get out!
omg XDDDD

Well there probably a story behind this
@@discokossan and I would like to hear it 😁

@@JohnDoe-lt5fq that dosent work either...nor does bleach and ammonia...it just made me really dizzy and i started throwing up and i had to go to the hospital...😣😣😣
Interesting View Hahahahaha
Been doing this for 20 years, it's by far the most thorough clean you can do. My tip: Apply from the outside edge and work your way in as the record spins, then use your finger to slowly bring the spiral of glue together into an even layer towards the centre label. After a few goes you'll get a feel for exactly how much you need. Don''t believe the snobs, this is the real deal. Once clean I add a small circular sticker to the label so I know its been cleaned then just take care of the record going forward and you shouldn't need to do it ever again.
I dont doubt it does a great job, and your comment doubles down my resolve to do this to a few records, but I've got to ask, what do the snobs say?
Your reply was 3 days ago when I seen and it has almost 30 likes already.. this video came out 11 years ago!
@@plantsofany4964 It's the algorithm sending us here.
@@beezowdoodoozoppitybopbopb9488 they’ll say it damages vinyl, leaves residue, dampens the hi frequencies, isn’t as thorough has a vacuum based machine, causes huge amounts of static among many other claims I haven’t personally experienced.
Some actual issues I have found:
• If you apply too thin (usually around the outside edge) you can get thin streaks of the glue that need to be pulled up with you finger nail.
- not really an issue as they pull up fine and worst case scenario just reapply the glue and start again.
• you need the right glue. I’ve also found the purpose made gels leaves gunk and need a couple of plays to draw the pulled up dirt out. (Like you still need to do with RCM’s quite often)
- use Tite Bond II , I’ve never had gunk using this.
• it’s not the quickest or easiest method. If you want to work your way through 2000 records over a weekend you’re gonna have a bad time. I clean new records when they come in or any ones I’m going to be playing out if they need it.
• probs not the cheapest in the long run and not the most environmentally friendly (I guess you could say that about vinyl tho)
My advice is just try it for yourself :)
@@plantsofany4964 yeah that is quite surprising
I do this, but I mix in some distilled water with the wood glue - it makes it thinner and allows the glue to settle into the smallest undulations inside the groove.
Good idea
@@binomesprite7829
Nah, use Super Glue
I tried using wood, glue, and water as you suggested, mine broke. Pls help.
@@kueapel911 What exactly broke, the record??
Good tip. Also, since Titebond 2 is a more water resistant glue than Titebond 1, it might be better to use 1.
I don't know why I was expecting the clean version to sound like an HD remaster.
Song gets longer, adds a new verse with Kanye
@game walkthrough They really don't. It can and has been proven that a lossless digital copy sounds better than a record using the same speakers, due to inconsistencies with record manufacturing. The digital "step" problem is insignificant due to the sheer sample size (amount of steps), and is very easily smoothed out via DACs with even basic mathematic algorithms.
Mastering does with sound quality what sunlight does to count Dracula.
All they do is proving an overpriced worthless service. The men who work at those places are utterly incompetent and all they do is to destroy sound quality.
If you want noise reduction done in a good way, then do it yourself instead. Try to use sound effects as little as possible.. since, Equalizer, compressor, transpose and all that shit destroys sound quality everytime you use them, and there is no way to repair it.
Personally I use Magix cleaning lab and do spectral cleaning when I remove cracks, sparks and such noises so I do a minimum of damage to the music, by using this precision strike method instead.
Other methods one can use is to hand-draw a volume curve in a music programme like Pro Tools or Reaper to lower the volume of unwanted sounds without causing any distortion and sound quality loss.
Daktyl Also all vinyl made nowadays is just the digital release of the album pressed onto a record, it's just a novelty at this point
@@Daktyl198 well the main thing people are hearing is the difference between digital and analog. When you make a digital copy the tone is automatically adjusted that adjustment can alter the shape of the waveform and it can cut cut sounds sharp and make it unnatural sounding. So you may be able to get Hi-Fi and quality it's basically as if it's emulating real sound instead of being a recording of real sound.
How to make a free copy
Erm, only if you somehow make another 'positive' copy from the glue 'negative' you just made.
You’d have to cast the opposite of the glue. It’s the negative space of the record, so it would have to be the stuff that’s already there.
@@hypnotyze_ Yeah, instead of record grooves, you would have record "fences".
Alternative: 3D-printing a 3D printer and selling one of them.

A copy of a dirty record
60 years old and still learning new things..... this blew my mind ....I'm a carpenter , I've used tight Bond glue for 40 years , never thought of this 🤔🤔🤔🤔 ....Glue being used for this purpose ... Unbelievable....Thank you 💕💕💕
I know someone used it for removing tiny dusts on optical surface before plating and it works great.
As a old geezer who fought the early battles of analog/vinyl vs. digital/cd, this kind of thing is inspiring.
There's currently a huge increase of vinyl sales worldwide, and it's been going on since the early 2010's, so I'd consider it a moral victory at the very least
Vinyl is making a comeback, and I have a HUGE amount of old records, mostly 33's, some 45's and they've all seen better days, so this should get them back into playable order hopefully!
It's the latest retarded hipster thing
And heres me, sitting happily in the middle with my massive fuckin cassette tape collection.
@@scumbaggo Right?
Those can be cleaned with a plain old fridge magnet. Get them right down to the orig. hiss. very soothing ASMR. can bring back all of those old memories of having forgotten to press 'record'.
Who else thought he already had taken the glue off (leaving a small bit) at 2:00 ?
I thought so.. I was raging at first.. Then.... Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

This is the first time I've ever seen a glue be used to clean something, truly fascinating.
Glue adjacent, but you’d probably like Peter brown’s video where he cleans his shop mat with resin in the same manner as done here with glue

Accurate as fuck
This video is 8 years old. why am i being recommended this now, and not 8 years ago? This is quality content.
Vinyl wasn't "cool" 8 yrs ago. ;)
Right?
Because the algorithm was pretty shitty 8 years ago.
Good thing I didn't toss my old vinyl records in the past eight years.
After eight years, your records are due to be cleaned.
The best record cleaner I ever had was while stationed in Japan in the 70's. It was a brush that had a reservoir with fluid that set in front of the needle and followed it as the record played that released enough to keep the needle submerged in this wet fluid constantly. It was awesome.
was it oil or water based liquid? I wonder if a soft watercolor brush with a reservoir handle might do the trick.
Mmmmm. Interesting, I’ve never heard of such witchcraft! How did you dry the records afterwards? I’ve heard the Japanese are crazy audiophiles! And apparently really in to mono recordings and speaker.
Lenco clean? The problem is, once wet, always wet. I found it made the crackles worse if you didn't use it every time.
@@thornyback Isopropyl alcohol .
Well I just tried this on a used album I bought that “looked” mint but sounded horrible. I actually couldn’t believe how great the LP sounded afterwards.
So if you can’t SEE the scratches, then it will clean all the crap out of the grooves and fix your record. There’s no way it will do anything to repair visible scratches.
But I couldn’t be happier with my “new used” album
@Niphyra That and the vinyl over time will oxidize like anything else and create it's own layer of essentially record dust. It's a slow process but is accelerated by exposure to sunlight (Or for some reason a high oxygen environment but I doubt that will happen)
The diamond riding in the groove makes the vinyl attract dust, gives it a negative charge like rubbing a balloon on your hair. Airborne dust falls on the record, and the needle just keeps pressing it into the bottom of the groove. Smoke adds a sticky quality to it, my ex wife used to smoke and everything in the house was covered in nicotine tar. I paid big money for a record cleaning machine, a Pro-Ject brand, works great! If you own 500 or more records it’s well worth the cost. But this glue trick was amazing! A low cost trick to get that crud off your records, I’m impressed!
@@alphagt62 The diamond itself also slowly grinds down the vinyl and leaves vinyl dust in the groves. Which is why the more you play a record the worse it will inevitably sound. It's why tapes and CDs were considered better. (Though both still deteriorate over time)
@@SilvaDreams Gee, I wonder why I never hear about this. A reference would help. And the process is accelerated by a high oxygen environment "for some reason"???
@@kahlesjf It's just the nature of oxidation and the slow work of entropy (Even gold technically oxidizes despite being one of the most stable elements it jus happens VERY slowly).
I was mostly being sarcastic about the high oxygen environment because unless you are pumping the area you store you vinyl's in with pure O2 it won't be an issue.
Why am I here? I don't even own records... It is 3am though so thats typical youtube.
Because the devil made you do it.
Oh so youre sayibg the time made you do it right?
Angel Mendez same here and I also don’t hear a difference
@@luey6210 it doesnt make the music sound better it just makes that crackling sound less
@Angel Mendez, haha, sometimes we are doing inexplicable things :)

That was correct.
It works on cd’s too?

Gamèlyzed so was i. I’m not as funny as i think i am

I’ve done this hundreds of times with Titebond II wood glue. The viscosity of that glue spreads well using an old credit card or equivalent. Obviously it will not remove scratches but it works miracles at times with older records with lots of surface noise. But I used it on all records I have other than brand new ones. Just because I’ve notice a difference almost every time.
The sound of him peeling it off is almost exactly what I hear when I make love to my wife....DOH!
This works 100% . Used it on one of my Doors albums. Waiting for the Sun , first pressing . Record looks clean , no scratches , no scuffs but sounds very crackly to the point that the slower songs were annoying with the crackling .
Used some tightbond 2 from my wood shop . Took about 8 hours per side to dry with a fan blowing lightly on it. Peeled the glue off effortlessly and the record sounds much better . I'd guess the glue got rid of 85% of the crackling and much more enjoyable to listen to.
I'm going to do it a 2nd time to see if it improves any more . Also you do not need a thick coat of glue , the grooves are microscopic...the thinner you can apply it the better , will dry faster and use a lot less glue.
Have about 40 more oldies to go now , I'll do 2 a week but I'll get there.
You should have used that wood glue to fix your wooden Doors that were falling apart.
@@ylemi2403 It does work, I've done this on plenty of records.
DOn't make it too thin, because then it won't be as easy to peel off.
Can we get an update on your second cleaning?
@@need100k if it becomes too hard to peel off I think you can just add more glue and try again later.
It works best on old records by the group "The Carpenters".

Pro tip for anyone here for the cleaning tutorial (rather than the satisfaction of the peel), highly recommend investing in anti-static sleeves to store your favorite records in (I personally am I big fan of the rice paper anti-static ones), as you'll save yourself a lot of time constantly cleaning your disks. The cheap standard paper sleeves most albums come in will scuff and scratch disks over time (even if they aren't being taken out and played), and won't prevent the discs from getting static charge and attracting tons of dust and particulates from the environment. Third party archival quality sleeves average around $20 for 50, and can really go a long way in preserving the quality of your collection 🫶 keep those turntables spinning ya nerds!
so this trick actually DOES work? I recently bought a crosley bluetooth deck to play my vintage on (records sound just as awesome through a surround unit), and I've got some quite bad dirties both in albums and singles. does it have to be wood glue, or can you use white glue for the same purpose?
@@anonymuswere Crosleys generally mess up records over time if you don't have a proper counterweight, but I think this way of cleaning is best with wood glue because other glues leave residue.
@@naxzed_it these aren't audiophile grade. they were played on 70's BSA decks with worn parts and not a counterweight in sight. my Crosley unit, a C6B, HAS a counterweight, an actual METAL platter, and a band drive I don't look forward to the stretch out of.
I never knew, thanks for the tip!
I bought a bunch of glue to try this. Didn't get the record clean, but the more I sniffed the less I cared...
I tried sniffing glue too. But I got nothing. That is the last time I sniff white Elmers glue. LOL

@@ilham7345 No thanks. A brain is a terrible thing to waste. Even my small pea brain.

Never in a million years would I have thought to use wood glue! Outstanding!
We used to do this in the 70's if you play the glue sheet afterwards you can hear the sounds from the negative space, so you can hear the sounds in the studio that originaly were not recorded in the positive space

If you put the 'glue record' on the platter and place the stylus on the end of a track, it will play backwards. Be very careful about doing this because you can end up opening portals to other dimensions.

I prefer sniffing the glue to open the portal. saves time letting it dry. just a tip.
It doesn't work on CDs DVDs or Blu-rays, but it does work on flies and moths!
I really want to hear this
Your about to enter… the twilight zone.
I tried this and it really restored the sound of all the wooden instruments
I was an audiophile when vinyl was king, in the 1970's. I can tell you that this really does work, but it's not what you think, AND there is a better way.
What I hear is a reduction of static, which is temporary. I'm sure there was some cleaning, but that crackle is static discharge. When you peeled the glue up, you charged the surface by ripping electrons off the surface. You get a similar effect if you use a brush type cleaner, or even better with a static gun. I spent years trying to get the perfect vinyl play, just so I could record cassettes, and then put the vinyl away to never be played until the tape needed replacing. So I have tons of experience making crackle go away... And it is not by "cleaning" it is by managing the static charge. And yes, multiple cleanings are REQUIRED, as you will need to do it for every time you play the record (which is ridiculous in my opinion).
So this technique is a perfect way to get an even charge across the surface... but it is far from being the easiest or best way.
But ask any old guy that was dedicated to the best vinyl playback that was alive when this was the best technology back in the 1970's, and they will tell you that static charge management was the secret to crackle free playback. I always wished they would come up with a conductive vinyl formula so we didn't have static. And to be clear, the crackle is the needle building up a charge and discharging during playback, not from charges on the vinyl. This was reduced by pre-charging the record so that the needle's charge was countered by the surface being highly charged. A static gun will give the same "before and after" results, but in a couple seconds, no need to spill glue on your turntable and wait a day to play your album.
Pro tip: Wood glue excels at cleaning vinyl. CDs, not so much.
But seriously, woodn't that have a destructive effect on the valuable stylus? It has to be worse than taffy?

@@emmanuellazarus Use distilled water only and you can also use a rolling record cleaner, I have heard they work fairly well without damage
While I have never cleaned a record before I now that any kind of scrubbing of any kind can ruin a surface. but with the cleaning method in the video, which has been a method for years after a little research, the glue will get into every grove and lift the dirt hair grime and whatnot because the glue gets into every crevasse. Soap and water on the other hand will only move the dirt and whatnot and you would never get all of it off. I'm trying to figure out how this would make a record sound flatter.
No One:

That wouldn’t work because the glue would be inverted, you’d need to glue the glue then peel off that glue to actually use it as a glue record copy, and even then if it makes a sound it won’t be pretty.

Ladies and gentlemen, the most satisfying video on all of CZcams:
My brother just bought an extremely rare reggae 12” 45 for $11 that usually sells for $200 +. It sounded absolutely horrible - thus the $11 price tag.

@Big Dick but why though?
A CZcams classic, still holds up.
Finally. The rereleased 10 year anniversary album...cleaning tutorial. He’ll be going back on tour as well.
My advice after 8 records cleaned:
-try on junk first
-wash your records before the glue cleaning. (i mixed water and alcohol around 50/50 but you can do like you want)
-don't put any glue on the sticker
-if you get a drop where you don't want any, instead of trying to wipe it off just make a bigger drop and try to make it join the rest of the glue to peel in one piece.
-be sure that the edges are really thick on both sides (inside and out). If the edges are too thin they won't come with the rest of the glue disk and you'll have to scratch it (which is not a real problem if it's on the dead wax). Also it will become a powder worst than dust that you can't clean with water unless you want to kill your record.
-don't put water on your record EVER after doing this method. If you missed a little drop of glue somewhere and water gets on it, it will spread and you will never be able to clean it. (that was my first try and the record is D.E.A.D).
-DON'T try to stick something to one edge to peel it off easier after. It's not a good idea because the glue under the "something" will take forever to dry.
-Don't be cheap on glue. Do like me buy 2.5kg so you won't care to use more than enough.
-Heat up a little the dry glue with a hair dryer (not too hot!!!). If it's just a little warm it will come off easier.
-don't put glue too close from the edge because if surface tension is broken you may have glue going UNDER your recordand that's really really bad.
Anyway it's working perfectly if you do it right. Even the 50 years old Edith Piaf record of my grandmother sound brand new (really like a new).
Pow3rus same for me works if done properly
My advice would be to never use a 50-percent alcohol solution on any record.
I have a question:
If you ever get your record "ruined" by watered-down glue(resulting to the powder you mentioned), can' t you just repeat the procedure, by applying a new layer of fresh glue, over the old one and then pulling it off again? Try it and tell us.
I don' t think that I will ever try this to my records, because I have been warned about these problems, about a couple of decades ago.
Pow3rus .
I eventually tried this trick on some of my old records(starting from the most un-wanted ones, of course...) and I can' t sya that I saw any change in the crackle. The stylus still plows the stones in the fields(grooves) of the records.
Now I only have to clean the glues from all of the stained parts of my turntable and stickers of the records...
I can’t believe I made it through the comments without one post about how “satisfying” it is
You're that comment
It's the most satisfying videos on CZcams tbh
THANK YOU SOME ONE!
You can substitute your own glue, just remember to zip your pants afterward.
It is tho
This is truly a great technique and I just want to add a bit of my technique to this. I have cleaned dozens of my most expensive 45s with this. This is the most solid cleaning technique I have used. Its astonishing how well it improves the sound. Listen to it before you clean it! the difference is wild in my experience.
I do the following,
1. Get the Elmers dispenser that has the rectangular hole and some business cards. Regular Elmers works equally as well as wood glue.
2. You also need 91% rubbing alcohol and section of chenille or other napped/pile fabric. Needs to be very soft.
3. Practice on a throw away record.
The key to this technique is cleaning the record with the piece of fabric saturated with alcohol and using enough to keep it wet while applying the glue. The alcohol has lower gravity than water and also acts as a mild solvent to loosen the dirt that is left from the wiping. Its a great way to preclean the record. I feel it also thins the glue a tiny bit and allows it to get into the grooves better. Once the record is cleaned and still wet with alcohol, use the Elmers dispenser to apply the glue from the outside to the inside. Use the business card to smooth out the glue so it coats evenly. I keep the record on the platter while I do this. It makes rotating the record while applying glue easy. Start right at the grooves so you can easily remove the disc by the edges when you have the glue applied. On the inside near the runout, I put a little dot that allows you to pull up the glue easier.
Never use isopropyl on a vinyl record!! Don't even keep them in the same room.
Satisfying clean up aside, I thank this video for introducing me to Miles Ahead and Miles Davis himself.
I have no idea how you managed not to get glue all over the turntable especially by the edge, well done.
Matt clue is very workable
thought the same thing , and then the video cuts to ,,, nice clean and level
Yeah, I would have somehow ended up glued to the turntable.
@Bill Williams or 45
It will also work great to keep warp records flat on the turntable. Make sure the wood glue dries overnight. So you can only always play the one favorite side of the albums in your record library.
Tried this on a vinyl of Eiffel 65 and now they sing "I'm glue, da ba dee da ba da"
Tlot Pwist I hate you lmaoo
😂😂😂
Hahahh
Try this with Madonna's True Blue ;)
@@LightningJackFlash won't work... Should be a virgin record
I always clean mine with a wire brush, cleans it nicely and gives the record some extra grooves.
I came here to watch something get spread all over a record and then peeled off in one go, and I was NOT disappointed.
Guy makes a video in 2011 and CZcams recommends it to me 8 years later.
I was already sending my prayers for that vinyl as soon as I saw the thumbnail
Tried this on Boston's More than a peeling.
Hate you
Did it work as well as on Journey's Peeling That Way?
@@BigJimMartinGuy yeah but best results with Peter Frampton's Do You Peel Like We Do
I wonder how it would go with Ambrosia's How much I peel...
Ya all forgot
Nothing more than a peeling
When I saw this video I expected it to be one of those like "put your iPhone in the microwave to charge the battery in 10 seconds" types, like the glue would fill the grooves and the record would be ruined, but WTF it really works!! So cool
But the iphone microwave trick works too. Easy to try.
you can basically do this with any material that will fill in the scratches.
When I saw this i immediately assumed the glue would solidify then you peel it off and it takes the dirt with it. 2 types of people I guess.
People who lie and people who don't?
johnny bravo No, people who have brains that work and people who don't.
I tried it with this Cher album I found up in the attic a couple of years ago that I told the wife it'll never see the light of day again.
Instead of wood glue I tried that flex paste. I put it on about 1/2 inch thick and had to wait like 5 days for it to firm up and acted like it cured out.
It didn't peel off and the album cracked into like 30 pieces.
The good news is that the goats gnawed a 6inch hole in their plastic water tank so I grabbed a spray can of the Flex spray stuff and sprayed an area around the hole, then slapped that album on before it dried.
It worked amazingly well!! The hole don't leak and the goats kinda threw up a little bit when they looked at the patch and saw Chers face.
The tank don't leak and the goats won't knaw on the tank no more!!!
Might also be interesting to try playing the dried glue as well. Bet it will sound kind of funky.
I think the performance sounded a little wooden after this treatment.
Why wood you think that?
I think he's being facetious. Wood glue.
@@TurtleFrack bruh
danno6169 You just got bamboozled. He was also making a wood joke
Sounded a bit plastic to me.
Nobody:

@@FeuerfesteUnterhose what shut up kid
@@FeuerfesteUnterhose Imagine being this lame.
Oh well FeuerfesteUnterhose08/15 deleted his/her comment
Can someone tell me what he said??
Nice video ,ten years later still works...! Ty
I always clean my carpet just like this. Pour it all over the carpet and peel it up after it dries. It’s a real deep clean. Also works for upholstery. Especially car seats.
Thank you for the tip. I just set wood glue into my wife's car seats to surprise her tomorrow. I can't wait to peel it back with her in the morning!
I let it dry overnight but now I can’t get the record out of its jacket???
Fish Squish Guy
Now that’s funny. Thank you
That was the only funny one on here.
My Gold Record got stuck to the ceiling.
Shite Shovel Works great on The Rolling Stones Sticky Fingers LP
Blowtorch always works
My records don’t even need cleaning, but I’m doing this anyway for the 𝒫ℯℯ𝓁

〰Avery〰 in germany we say ehrenmann
guess you could say the sound is quite a-peeling
When I found an underrated comment
Delicious finally some good fucking food
I remember watching this like 8 years ago.
It just showed up in my recommended for the first time.
Same. I still think about it sometimes. It’s just satisfying to watch glue get peeled
Oh this is gonna be so useful... I love my records, but have a bunch of oldies i need to clean up.
I prefer the clean version, its more family friendly.
Wait, does this method remove dirty words also?
@@stevansaucedo4151 yes, it removes anything dirty or bad and replaces with good and clean
😂😂LMAO
I wonder if any audiophile catalogs now sell 'audiophile-grade' wood glue for this purpose (only $50 a bottle, it's a steal!)
This is the craziest thing I've seen. I thought it was a joke, but it seems to have worked quite well!
That peel is so satisfying to watch.
Ha ha. I remember that trick from my days in the broadcasting business.
That was a trade secret for years. But then you should see how records were handled.

try removing fricking leadin post scarring with this
WTF ???
How did they change the singles so quickly on the radio
Sunset Vlogs. Switch between 2 Turntables
i tried this with an old 45 of Lionel Ritchie’s “Stuck on you”. worked great.
Did the stylus on the phono cartridge get "stuck on" the vinyl records grooves with glue left on.
@@mab7175 no glue is left behind. It always comes up in one piece as long as you make it thick enough and give it enough time to dry
Lionel Ritchie's glue didn't work for him. He's divorced.
These comments are as timeless as the music we get to listen to.
I did this once to one of my father’s old record. Worked like a charm.
Will it work for a Beatles album or just Miles Davis?
Just miles davis
Maybe not the Beatles, but if you try it on a Who album, you can look at the glue and see for miles
@@gregfeneis609 Thanks! We won't be fooled again. 😁
I hear an un-peeled Beatles album is worth more on the collector's market.
F-150 Tried it on my “Glue’s Brothers” album and worked great! Unfortunately I totally ruined my car’s CD player with this method
When he was peeling off the glue *oooooohhhhhhh yiiiiiissssssss*
Like peeling sunburn
great band name

oooooohhhhhhh yiiiiiissssssss

I did this yesterday to my Van Halen, 1984 LP. WOW... it worked fantastic!
I can’t imagine the grounding I would have Received if I was caught “cleaning” a record with glue when I was a kid.
Don’t know why I stopped here, but the comments alone made me give this a like!
*I did this and the glue took the lyrics out of my favorite Beatles album*
Who are the beatles?
Beatles? Who are these?
That must have been heart breaking, but you need to let it be
play the glue
