Wood glue method of record cleaning

Just because something can be made to work doesn't necessarily mean it's the best way of doing it. This method may work 99 times out of 100 or more, but a 16.5 or some such RCM is many times cheaper than that INEVITABLE cantilever replacement you mention.

This doesn't even factor in wait time (for drying) and damage to your nervous system while you just wait for the god-awful sound your stylus will make when it eventually (or sooner) gets ripped from its moorings??

Hafta agree, seems inefficient and potentially dangerous to your cart. There are other ways and soaps (not "audiophile washing solution soaps") that are certainly cheaper than a goodly dose of wood glue.

Yeah, I wouldn't do the wood glue either. General consensus is to stick with more "traditional" methods of vinyl care. Way too many great Audiophile products available without going into the "dark side" of record cleaning, besides- glue is glue and what if it really didn't? peel off completely? I agree with everybody so far...stay away from glue. While you're at it, steer clear of stuff like WD40, 91 % Isopropyl alcohol, mineral oils, Windex, Pinesol, KY jelly, bong water. Too many crazy concoctions abound and everybody has different ideas and experiences, not all work so great, not all of them are very sane either, I.M.O.
I like my old Nitty Gritty best of all. Good luck!

It's funny, once the topic of wood glue is brought up, you get the typical snarky responses from people like Zd542, who know absolutely nothing about it.

The wood glue method works and it works well. If you live in the states, Titebond II is the way to go. Once dried, the glue will pull off entirely. I've cleaned many a record using wood glue and have never damaged a stylus. You just have to be carefuly not to spread the glue too close to the label.

Records come out very clean, as well as nice and shiney. It doesn't always take 8 hours for the glue to dry either. It takes about 4 hours on average.

I have a VPI 16.5. I find that using Titebond II wood glue works better.I just cleaned two Allman Brothers albums this weeks and got them to sound very nice.
