It's kind of fun. Plus it worked well. Peeling the glue off was like peeling dead skin after a good sunburn.

I did take some pics but not of the mess. I was too concerned with getting it cleaned up asap. My phone os dead right now so maybe I'll post a few pics tomorrow.

It was discussed on an earlier thread about 6 months ago. I'll see if I can find it. Youtube has numerous videos: I was nervous to try it but it was easy and worked great!

I had a few unplayable albums that were at least 30 years old. Tons of pops and cracks. Alan Parson's Project - I Robot was my first attempt to use wood glue to clean it. Tightbond II Wood glue. Used an old cheap turntable and spread a nice thick layer of wood glue. Made a mess the first time. Had wood glue all in the turntable. lol Took the platter off and cleaned it up. Let the album dry over the weekend. Pealed the the thick layer of glue off this morning with no problems. placed the album on and dropped the stylus. At first I had to check to see if the preamp was set to phono because there was no sound at all, nothing. Yup, it was set on phono , turned up the volume still nothing. Then the music started and it was crystal clear. WOW I was going to pitch the album and now it sounds fantastic. The second album went much better, at least in the mess department. I tried clean using basic methods. I don't have a record cleaning machine but this is the next best thing. I would recommend trying the wood glue method before giving up on an album. I may have to invest in a machine down the road it will have to wait becauset I don't have the extra cash right now.

What is FLAC?

I was thrilled to find a stash of old favorite CDs yesterday. Cleaned out the car and dour about 30 CDs in a case. Even though I almost never listen to CDs, they are some of my absolute favorite tunes. I couldn't wait to play them but it seems like almost all of them "skip" I tried cleaning them but nothing seems to work. Are there any tips or secrets? I can see what looks to be scratches or scuffs but they are below the surface. Maybe it was the heat in the summer.

Nice pick up. I have all three of those in vinyl

Cool Jim, You may want to take a look at UV protective acrylic to prevent fading. I collect historical documents and if they are not framed correctly they will be destroyed by light.
