Tried this method for the first time on a four decades plus copy of The Rolling Stones' "Get Yer Ya-Ya's Out"... When I first played the LP, it was riddled with loads of crackles and pops. I would rate it a G to Fair condition. The LP has had so much mileage to begin with so I was not expecting a miracle. After the treatment, it is now a strong VG-. There still are some crackles but from it was previously but has been reduced dramatically. Much more listenable. Down the road, just for posterity, I'll give it another run through with the glue.
Next up is CSN&Y's "Deja Vu"...
It was an easy application though it requires some touch. I picked up a junker table at a Goodwill, then a 16 ounce bottle of TiteBond II then off I go. It is time intensive work but the results could be worth it if my first attempt is an indication. I plan on employing it on the noisiest titles in my library.
Hello, and welcome to AK!
My method uses two 16 oz bottles, #1 is full strength. This is for the inner and outer runs, the run in and the run out. Then I do a thin zig zag between the two, just for strength. Then #2 bottle is diluted 3 parts glue to 1 part distilled water. Very watery, and dries quickly. I fill the gap between the run in and run out, smoothing with a playing card or old credit card. Thin is good, it dries fast, but get ample covering, because too thin, and it just crumbles, which sucks.
I can now glue a side in under 1 minute. Leave for work, flip, and do the other side. All done!
