vinyl cleaning with wood glue....works?

You know, early on when I just started back out with vinyl, I picked up a copy of after the goldrush... clean, but noisy as heck. I actually used the wood glue, and it worked AMAZINGLY well!! I had forgotten all about it up until I saw your thread.. I now have a nitty gritty, steam cleaner, etc. etc.
the thing to be aware of is that the glue takes time to 'cure' and seperate from the vinyl... dont panic when it appears 'bonded'
also, getting those last little bits off of the record is a pain... they want to 'cling' due to static. I still have that record, and it is one of the quitest original pressings I own. Go figure!

Don't use Hot Glue!!

Strange as it my seem, this has come up before.

I have just read the post now, thank you for posting it.

The problem is not to have vinyls to sacrifice for experiment the problem is then to run my $4500 pick up over!
I mean nobody has reported any issue, but the method is not guaranteed and if I wear the cart down I have no one to blame but myself :)

The variant with the Elman's glue seems to be more viable because little spots can be removed with distilled water after all.

The reasons to keep vinyl cleaned are:

1) to get the best sound out of it
2) to preserve the stylus contact of the pickup from the dirt and increase lifetime of the cart

if with the glue I get the first one but I miss the second....I don't know!

What do you guys think about it?

I think it's safer to use Elmer's white glue than the yellow carpenter's glue. White glue is water soluble; carpenter's glue is not. So if you have some residual glue left on the LP, the white kind will come off easier with water.

I tried white glue once on a noisy record and I can't claim a success story like Hxt 1. It spread on and peeled off as expected but I didn't perceive any improvement in noise. Maybe my record was simply noisy, either a bad pressing or permanently damaged whereas Hxt 1's was merely dirty.

I have had good luck with a handheld power steamer and microfiber terry cloths.
