    I used to use a similar technique as the record makeup but using PVA glue then leaving it over night untill the glue is clear then it peals off in one go. Until I couldn't wait one day and pealed too early and ruined a record. When done properly it gave the best results even better the the Lauricraft record cleaner.

    I cannot recommend the PVA glue as you can ruin your records.

    Hi,
    I always fancied one of those Ronco cleaners. There was one on Ebay the other day.

    They should have called it the Ronco Battery operated record scuffer the the amount of good they did. The foam rubber used to perish and leave a sticky mess around the record.
