Advise for your precious Cambodian music record. I tried one with old junk record at first. Then I tried Phsar Thmey record Label. The quality of the record is 70%. I will play it for you before and after using the glue technique.
What you need:
- Wood glue: Water Resistant (only)
- Turntable and your finger plus clothes to wipe yours.
How to do:
- Clean record with record cleansing or mixing your own record cleanser (distilled water and Isopropyl Alcohol 50% each with a few drop of clear dishes detergent fragrance free, shake well in your selected spray bottle) with microfiber clothes. Dry the record until it is completely dried.
- Place the record on the turntable and press start. The turntable will start spinning.
- Drop the wood glue from the bottle and let it runs the circle. Avoid too much and too thin. Thicken at the edge.
- Use your finger to spread from inside out until you satisfy. If you made mistake, try to not wipe it out. Let it sit for 24 hours and peel it off. If there are residual glue. You may need to repeat the step over again but more carefully.
After this, you can clean with microfiber clothes with record spray and anti static brush.
It was someone else experience as following
- Try on junk first
- Wash your records before the glue cleaning
- Don’t put any glue on the label
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
