vinyl cleaning with wood glue....works?

I have just read the post now, thank you for posting it.

The problem is not to have vinyls to sacrifice for experiment the problem is then to run my $4500 pick up over!
I mean nobody has reported any issue, but the method is not guaranteed and if I wear the cart down I have no one to blame but myself :)

The variant with the Elman's glue seems to be more viable because little spots can be removed with distilled water after all.

The reasons to keep vinyl cleaned are:

1) to get the best sound out of it
2) to preserve the stylus contact of the pickup from the dirt and increase lifetime of the cart

if with the glue I get the first one but I miss the second....I don't know!

What do you guys think about it?

I think it's safer to use Elmer's white glue than the yellow carpenter's glue. White glue is water soluble; carpenter's glue is not. So if you have some residual glue left on the LP, the white kind will come off easier with water.

I tried white glue once on a noisy record and I can't claim a success story like Hxt 1. It spread on and peeled off as expected but I didn't perceive any improvement in noise. Maybe my record was simply noisy, either a bad pressing or permanently damaged whereas Hxt 1's was merely dirty.

I have had good luck with a handheld power steamer and microfiber terry cloths.

The pick-up I believe is strong enough to scratch off the 'residues' of glue. Mk sure your preamp is muted or turned away from the phono input selection:-)

huummmm....I don't think I am gong to take this risk on the new pick up ever.
I might give it a try with my other cart (denon 103).
However I have finish to arrange the washing machine and the liquid for the regular washing and it works really nice.
Records look much more shiny and the static on the vinyl are reduced a lot.
It is fast and efficient although the noise of the vacuum store is pretty annoying :)

Personally, I think this is a dumb idea. Steam works, try it instead.
