vinyl cleaning with wood glue....works?

Hi all,

I have been researching a way of cleaning vinyls and at a certain point I came across a particular way...looked really funky to me.
They are using wood glue and it looks like it works better than anything else.
My perplexity is if glue remains deep down then it can ruin the pick up.

anybody has ever successfully used this method?
What do you guys think?

I remember seeing a similar cleaning method using liquid latex(mold builder)

I say it is dumb simply because of the time and labor involved spreading the glue, waiting, peeling it off. I can steam a record in less than two minutes and not have any second thoughts about leaving something behind to snag an expensive stylus.

We are all entitled to our opinions, so deal with it.

Years ago, there was a product made by Empire that you smeared all over the record and peeled off. Sort of like rubber cement. I never had much luck with it, as it invariably left little pieces here and there you had to try to get off with Scotch tape. Thank God for the modern RCM.

point taken, thanks for contributing, that's what it's all about!
speaking of time and labour, I'd say we've both invested enough into this thread... considering opinions don't get records clean!
