Kegsy Posted September 13, 2016 Share Posted September 13, 2016 (edited) I have a £500 record that is in M- condition except for some dry/hardened glue on the run in. It had been kept in an paper sleeve that had been sellotaped along the bottom. The record has picked up a small amount of the glue, not much, the record can still be cued up carefully. What's the best way to remove the glue. Edited September 13, 2016 by Kegsy Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Guest johnny hart Posted September 13, 2016 Share Posted September 13, 2016 Always found good old can of petrol lighter fluid has the ability to remove sticker glue residue painlessly? Good luck. Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Andy Rix Posted September 13, 2016 Share Posted September 13, 2016 Maybe 'Sticky Stuff Remover' ..... I've used it for removing price tag stickers on labels etc and works wonderfully .... It's about £5 from Amazon .... If not the other suggestions should do it Andy Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Steve S 60 Posted September 13, 2016 Share Posted September 13, 2016 In my daughter's arts and crafts studio she soaks all her glue brushes in hand sanitiser. It's probably the alcohol in it that dissolves the glue, so that may be worth a try. A small bottle costs less than £1. Just brush it on to the affected area.
