It doesn't adhere to the PVC records, it doesn't leech plasticizers from your vinyl , and this method has been around since 1980-1981. That's over thirty years of real-world testing without a single issue. People realized that Disco Film (and the other similar product at that time), which is a direct relative of the newest Record Revirginizer, is essentially the same thing as PVA wood glue... but for only a fraction of the cost. The cost is a big thing. A bottle of the Revirginizer costs roughly $75 USD and it only treats about 14-15 records. A gallon of Titebond II costs less than $20 USD and treats about 70 records. Plus, people can buy PVA wood glue anywhere and the Revirginizer stuff has to be shipped from Australia. Although I never tried the glue method , I don't think it's a good idea with my OCD! 😏 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AndreG. Posted March 5, 2023 Share Posted March 5, 2023 I´m also interested in this method and might try it. Just saw, you can get Titebond here on Amazon, although it´s not really cheap: https://www.amazon.de/Franklin-International-Titebond-Original-Holzleim/dp/B00JEKF37C/ref=sr_1_3_sspa?crid=37LH40WYBEMIJ&keywords=titebond+holzleim&qid=1678022031&sprefix=tite%2Caps%2C567&sr=8-3-spons&sp_csd=d2lkZ2V0TmFtZT1zcF9hdGY&psc=1&smid=A3IXZP1XCX1BGG 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MeloManiac Posted March 6, 2023 Share Posted March 6, 2023 I've enjoyed all weekend listening to this 1974 Neil Diamond best-of album. It dates from before he became a global star, and is without the bombastic o'er the top arrangements. Let's just say it qualifies as true 'melomaniac' album! Ps Don't you love that hair?! 3 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
