Cleaning Vinyl?

[Hdale85]

I found this to be an interesting video, and it actually has a lot less pops afterwards!

Yep. This is one of those urban legends that has been around for many, many years.

If you have an LP that sounds so poor you are willing to cover it with Elmer's wood glue...........well, go right ahead & be my guest. May as well get out the Silly Putty, too!

It seems to peel off quite easily and not stick to the vinyl at all, Silly putty on the other hand is quite oily and easily leaves residues behind lol.

It's amazing what people come up with!!. If you take care of your vinyl in the first place, you probably would not have to go to this extreme to begin with.

I've also heard that some people play their vinyl 'wet'. Has anybody got any feedback on this??.

Here you go, Dan.....

I clean mine with peanut butter and then listen to it while I'm underwater.

My preferred method involves assistance from NotCho Dawg, my loyal companion.

Now THAT's funny, right dere.

... hmmm.... now that I think about it, since a dog's mouth is supposed to be super clean, maybe that IS a good way to go.

Let me tell ya something. When I was a teenager and had a dog, that dog would jump up on my bed and start to lick my hand. He would proceed to lick it for 20-30 mins and as the dog did it, I could feel that every pour of my hand was cleaned like the day I was born. I can only imagine what that could do for vinyl!! ACK !!. :-)

Dan, I had a dog like that too, I couldn't get him on to records though.
