Making Vinyl Great Again (With or Without Wood Glue) | Episode 6

October 21, 2016 By brainfuzzadmin Leave a Comment

wood glue for cleaning a record
Making a vinyl collection great again: Wood glue poured and drying in the grooves of a vinyl record.

Joe and Matthew begin their discussion in episode 6 with a continuation of the seagull curation idea from episode 5.

Beware of Seagull Criticism

Seagull criticism happens when an art critic flies into an environment and quickly judges the exhibition and/or locals. He or she then quickly flies away, leaving a mess of feathers and poop.

Making a Vinyl Collection Great Again

Matthew has begun to make his vinyl collection great again and is building the platform on which to do it.

. . . With Wood Glue

While trying to distance themselves from the audiophile elite, Joe introduces the method by which a deep clean of vinyl can be achieved using wood glue. It’s time consuming and messy. See for yourself – the pictures here document a subsequent effort to clean a copy of Synchronicity.

The CNY Feud

Reminded by a recent vinyl find and recommendation, an ongoing feud between veteran rockers Crosby, Nash, and Young is discussed.

The term “dad rock” is brandished.

Residual wood glue on vinyl record
The wood glue separates fairly easily from the record once dry. But, beware of smudges and small spots of residual glue – they’re tough to remove.
Dried wood glue from cleaning a vinyl record
The wood glue “disc” you yield has grooves, but resist the temptation to put it on the turntable.
