Cleaning 2nd hand vinyl

[James]

Wood glue, if you don't want to invest in a RCM and are patient.

I have a relatively modest Disco Antistat cleaning System. Does a good job, if a little onerous.

Have you tried eraser pads? With some distilled water..onerous goes and easy peasy arrives with a cheeriness...

Years ago bought the Clapton 6 record set at a car boot for 50p - looked like someone had pulled a house down around them there was so much debris on them - just washed them in the sink with slightly soapy water - 10 of the 12 sides turned out fine

A soft brush under tap can help too...

Aren’t they abrasive?

No...microporous sponge, soak with water..run it over record ( quite wet ) leave for a minute..then squeeze out sponge and in a circular motion go round record..job done!
