Enjoy watching these restoration videos. As others have said, get rid of the paper inner sleeves and also chuck the old plastic covers, no need to keep those. Get new crystal clear outer sleeves. Gluing the cover is an easy and worthy practice, I do it all the time with clear glue. Very nice job and great album too!
are there any particular branded sleeves u recommend?
Awesome edition and great album. thx for sharing!
Great to see you back! I've really enjoyed your previous videos. All the best.
Thanks for watching. Glad you enjoy them
Very cool. Love to watch your videos for tips
Thank you. I really like the method I use now. results are so good. Thanks for watching
@@2ndchancevinyl you should just get rid of the outer plastic sleeve and replace with a new one and also the original paper sleeve as it may contaminate the jacket even if you cleaned it, just my suggestion.
Great album. Amazing for such an old record.
awesome album!
Great to see another video. I’m enjoying watching you experiment with various techniques in each video. One piece of advice: get rid of the old PVC sleeve. They let out a gas that will not only stain your record but other records around it (it’s called “outgassing”). Some of that grime you were wiping off was the chemicals from the plastics sweating from the sleeve. There are a few videos and articles online showing photos of it staining records. Replace them with some new modern sleeves, stick on the old price tag if you want the nostalgia and you’ll be fine.
Really? I was trying to keep all the original parts. I'll look into that. Thanks.
@@2ndchancevinyl No worries. I still keep PVC sleeves with old store logos on them because they look cool and are a part of the history of record collecting. But I keep them separate to my records.
I agree with your methods as they clearly work! Really enjoy your videos, too! I think you planned the glue coming apart just to show how the hairdryer works lol, but just one question: why would you try to save that crappy PVC sleeve? If you're using new anti-stat inners, you may as well replace the outer! Thanks! :)
Do you clean your microfiber cloths? If so how? You’re videos are really interesting 👍
Loves it
I don't know why you need 1% isopropanol alcohol I can't see that doing much.
There's no issue using a stronger mix say 20% even pure. isopropanol alcohol comes in a PVC bottle what vinyl is with coloring and release agent if there was any issues with the bottles with isopropanol alcohol they wouldn't put it in the bottles. The only stuff you can't use it on it's shellac 78 and those flexi discs. You still need a wetting agent like some pure soap car body soap without the wax. You can try this for really dirty records if they don't come out clean and have a lot of surface noise! Its called (auto groom) meant for cleaning vinyl in cars. Is a foam spread it in with a fine brush leave it for about three minutes and rinse off. I like those label protectors where'd you get that from?
There's some evidence some cases of the outer sleeve gasing off old type of pvc and getting onto the record permanently damaging I wouldn't be using old outer slaves just get polyurethane ones
It's a 1 part to 5.
@@2ndchancevinyl i just used a calculator and that's 500%! oh wait..... yep all good 20% here :P
@@2ndchancevinyl ok I must have heard it wrong
Great results! But please change that paper inner sleeve to a proper one!
Paper sleeves can damage record surface!
I keep it as it's the original, which is why I added a new antistatic inner sleeve.
where do u get them? i dont trust ebay stuff. any brand suggestion?
Where can i get that facila brush?
I'll find out and let you know. Cheers
Heads are exploding. Oh my gawd he used water……
Nice job, ppl who want to cry about a $1 worth of material being played on a $1k turntable through a $5k cart into a $30k pre-amp into a $100k amp to $500k speakers are the the true masters of the universe. Only think different would have done was replace the outer sleeve, com’on they’re a nickel each, splurge
I wanted to keep all the original bits, which is why I kept the paper inner sleeve as well. It cleaned up well. Thanks for watching and the comments.
This shows you exactly what you should NOT do, thumbs down.
Looked like it worked well. What’s your method?
Both brushes have been tested and proven not to damage the record. What other parts of this method is wrong?
@@2ndchancevinyl You should not use tap water but distilled water with no minerals that can hurt the record. And please get rid of those PVC sleeves they can destroy the records.
Are you saying get rid of PVC sleeves all together? Not even replace them?
@@trondamStrange but most of my vinyl has been in these sleeves for 45 years and I haven’t had a problem . Not saying there couldn’t be a problem but I’m yet to see it . Maybe humidity or heat plays a factor . I don’t know
