The Glue Method for Deep Cleaning Vinyl Records (done badly) Part 2

NOTE: It's a joke, people. Calm down.
Also: Obviously this is just silliness shared with other vinyl nerds, but I am actually serious about the Glue-All. That really DID mess up a record. Seriously, DO NOT try that!

[@RyanSmith-xu2df]

Ive just finished orbital sanding my entire Beatles collection, cant wait to listen tonight!

[@jaxflfreebird]

You should throw a listening party.

[@Christian-gj4uw]

jaxflfreebird lmao

[@olivernagy3609]

Interested How the Yesterday and Today album sounded like :^)

[@ArtsyFartsyTimo]

This comment still makes me laugh, but cringe enough that I get why so many people are upset with these videos

[@robfriedrich2822]

Sand blasting

[@scarlettsocks81]

"this album was not warped before we started."

[@if6was929]

I tried this on my face to lift off the blackheads, I'm at the doctors office now!

[@FL0730]

This is the funniest video I have seen in a while. Your sincerity combined with everything going wrong and your earnest side comments is truly amazing and had me in stitches.

[@indigosoundsstudio]

I actually utilized every method and technique that he demonstrated in this video on a very rare Britney Spears Acetate LP that I bought on eBay a few years back for several thousand dollars. Needless to say, after I applied these methods and played back the LP I found that it actually improved Britney’s singing and she actually sang in tune which is something that I had never heard from her before!! Truly Amazing!! Thank you so much for this video!!

[@comicnerd375]

im new to this vinyl thing and i was completely taking notes until he put the rocks everywhere

[@ArtsyFartsyTimo]

lol - forgive me

[@ScottIsMyName]

Ok.. I chuckled through the bulk of this, but the ending? Couldn't help but laugh out loud at that.

[@ArtsyFartsyTimo]

Can't reply to some of you - not sure why. But, yes, this was just us being silly. I know the glue method DOES work when done properly, and even the sandpaper method can work if very careful. The people that are upset with the video are just taking it way too seriously. No skin off my nose. We are vinyl nerds just having fun

[@soulman902]

GOZER'S DEN [ArtsyFartsyTimo] I had a couple good laughs from it. I got what was going on

[@ArtsyFartsyTimo]

might be a new one this summer

[@scronch_]

+GOZER'S DEN nope...

[@benjaminprice18]

+GOZER'S DEN Where's the 3rd video?

[@scronch_]

IKR

[@PauloParreira]

Man, i just laugh out loud when you used the sand machine :-)

[@ArtsyFartsyTimo]

heh heh

[@Maki-zf5wm]

Same thing here :)

[@MrQuintonia]

I thought you were being serious at the beginning... LOL....

[@kernel_data_inpage_error]

Children in africa could sniff that glue

[@rochalure]

Bastard))

[@GlitchyBastard]

Covering the label with glue. "Beautiful."

[@milescorporosus4058]

It becomes more and more like a Tim & Eric bit as it progresses and I love it. Also, this actually makes me a little more confident in attempting a legit glue cleaning because despite this being intentionally awful that glue really wanted to peel off in one sheet. So, thanks for that!

[@PumpkinPails]

I'm new to vinyl and you guys definitely had me going there through most of this video. I was like "Oh, he ripped off the entire label with duct tape? That doesn't seem correct, but he said not to worry. So, I still have faith this is going to work out." Then the cursing and sanding block came out. .. 😂

[@ianhames2465]

Great video, I tried it and it went wrong and ruined the record, but never mind. I was wandering, do you think I could clean my toaster with this method, as it has 2 deep grooves with lots of bits of crap stuck in the bottom?

[@ArtsyFartsyTimo]

+semahnai lol

[@adampinson6230]

After watching loads of videos about vinyl and seeing how seriously people take themselves, this was a work of comic genius.I only realised it was a joke when the gemstones come out ,had to do a double take . Brilliant

[@AmericanIdiot2002]

This was a combination of "This is actually pretty funny" and "This actually kind of hurts deep down"

[@RipReed]

The Sandpaper is when I seriously started laughing. This is like a horror film. It's horrifying but you can't stop watching.

[@albinothereal]

I was not sure about what I was actually watching, but I get it after reading in description. Absolutely silly , yes. and funny, hehe,especially when you pulled up that power tool- sandpaper disc- thing... hehe...

[@gracelong574]

omg i know this is a joke but it makes me cringe 😖 when you took the sander out though 😂

[@garyhanson7365]

It does look like Elmer's Glue could actually work when done right. Best parts of this video? Playing the wood-glue record, and whipping out the electric sander... Hysterical!

[@ArtsyFartsyTimo]

haha - thanks. We had fun

[@spinnerinthebubbleCT4543]

Loved it, when you got the electric sander out I creased with laughter. Great video 😁

[@ArtsyFartsyTimo]

***** - ha - thanks

[@sircaptaintm4983]

This is the fucking funniest thing I've ever seen. The entire time I was thinking, "this has got to be bullshit," but you sold it so fucking well! Had me in stitches, chum.

[@neknim]

DUDE!!!! You sand papered the label! What were you thinking?!? Now you've got dust on the vinyl. You'll have to start all over now! ;p

[@BenGreenwood666]

thank you for posting these so I can see what happens. by chance did you upload the third video ever?

[@asafcohen8796]

I went to the begining of my liked videos list and this was here I remember laughing hysterically at this 4 years ago and I still do now

[@BillsBoxOfSound]

I had to watch the ending three times because I was laughing so hard. What a payoff after watching everything else!!!

[@ArtsyFartsyTimo]

lol - thanks!

[@marktubeie07]

Hysterical! The end was to die for...!

[@ArtsyFartsyTimo]

tubeie07 - ha, thank you!

[@JoshuaLundquist]

"You could play your... wood glue ..album.. that you're making..." So GOOD!

[@stefanbrown8176]

omg this worked thank you. who needs labels

[@propadanda]

Whenever I need a good laugh, I find myself coming back to this video even after all of these years.

[@toddvj]

This is great. I especially like how you put your thumb all over the grooves when you're pulling the glue off. The "vanity card" at the end was a nice touch too.

[@ArtsyFartsyTimo]

ha - thanks!

[@Slickllama2]

I know nothing about vinyls, but this not only made me cringe, it made me laugh harder than I have in a long time. Especially by the ending scene.

[@ronniesrecordroom]

Dude! this is so funny, LMAO love it and you were so serious, sounds like alot of people got all riled up... people need to enjoy life a bit more. Loved it -Ron

[@carolinegallant548]

What is the name of the song that was played off of the tite bond II glue impression?

[@83Roboto]

I lost it when when you brought out the disc sander!

[@mcampellone]

Rofl I spit out my coffee from laughing so hard when you began to use the power sander. Excellent video!!!

[@calfeggs]

I realized this was a joke when he started putting the glass drops around lol.

[@vinylexplorer9817]

The very end of this video is the most important thing the you may learn today... LOL right after he cleaned up the vinyl - with this archaic method, btw - he just started to pulling off the label, and messing up the vinyl once again. LOL Kudos my friend! I definitely love your videos!!!

[@jackmontreal1]

I'm a real vinyl lover with my 5000 lps collection. And your video's are the BEST truth about what to know in cleaning; and mostly glass beds!!! And luckily I sell some beds, the special audio one for, only $ 5.00 each, a bargain, but you need 10, not 5! and black, not clear. Thats why you miss. My beds work for CD's too! You are absolutely awesome guys and I look to you when i feel depressed (at each period time, each month :-) ). Cher's from Montreal.

[@ArtsyFartsyTimo]

jackmontreal1 - ha, thanks, man

[@bostonianreggie]

Oh man, these are great. Can't wait for Part 3

[@ArtsyFartsyTimo]

thanks!

[@feinstei]

Thanks! Just did my MoFi Stones and Beatles sets (plus my UQHR Sgt. Peppers) using your methodology. The end result really made me appreciate the benefits of CD indestructability. Thanks again for the tutorial!!!

[@SunnyDementia]

I failed to read that it was a joke. It took me until the magic stones to realize something was wrong.

[@emaldinho]

This was Awesome! I didnt read the description nor the comments and was in for a surprise when I saw this. Really laughed my ass off good job!

[@michaelpukmel9175]

Nice job, beauty. I can't wait to try it out on my original limited pressings. Have you tried a wire brush to get the glue off?

[@mr19zee]

does it work if I dip my turntable in glue and make it do all the work ?

[@thehitman5007]

Man i love this video, LOL, is there part 3? And 4? And 5? Hahaha

[@paulcunning5159]

Holy Shit!!! I was laughing uncontrollably. The orbital sander did me in...

[@ArtsyFartsyTimo]

The orbital sander actually still makes me laugh

[@educatedfool06]

I've got no wood glue but have a tube of no more nails and some super glue, is that a viable alternative?

[@ArtsyFartsyTimo]

I'm afraid to even JOKE, anymore. DAMN too many people have either taken this seriously or personally. I'd try Liquid Nails, though. lol

[@itspunishmenttime6325]

The fact that I was believing you at first-

[@dean6816]

I was thinking "is this a joke" LOL!

[@The90sGamingGuy]

Lol! My dad used the more expensive wood glue you showed in the beginning of the video. I'll be avoiding getting glue on the label of my records. I know you were doing this for fun. How would you recommend cover up/ protecting the label?

[@dixielandfarm]

Atticus is doing a great service here in the VC - kids don't seem to want to read or use logic, so seeing this videos should really help them get their vynals as clean as possible. The sanding technique is one of those hidden gems even I haven't talked about - you are really breaking ground here (and gonna make the collectors real mad!). I hope you know about a real technique dealers sometimes use (true fact), they coat the records in lighter fluid - this covers up the surface scratches and restores the rainbow to the vinyl - sure it degrades the record severely, but once you sold it, who gives a shit!

[@ArtsyFartsyTimo]

I already have a negative. I knew some would take the video either too seriously or personally. I was prepared for it. Still, it was fun to do

[@NateBouchard]

Professor V You need a dixielandfarm Label Cover 3000

[@ArtsyFartsyTimo]

ha

[@feikedrost]

😂😂😂😂 i thougt you were serious in the beginning.. Good video

[@musicfun2606]

I think dipping them all the way in the glue is the best. It's fast, efficient and easy. And the duck tape works great! Basically, you will never have to worry about the label again! Will look to you for further advice on the care of my precious LP's. Thanks so much. We should actually find a way to pay you for your efforts at preserving vinyl. You should at least get some kind of award. Maybe a Grammy or something? BTW, where do you get the gallon bottle of Elmer's glue?

[@Whiskyninja666]

Fantastic tutorial! Top notch stuff here, straight from the source. Thank you for uploading this!

[@ArtsyFartsyTimo]

+Whiskyninja666 lol

[@Emily-uw5tt]

"Genius strikes when you least expect it!" Classic.

[@ArtsyFartsyTimo]

He's a funny guy

[@DocStrangelyStrange]

As deadpan as Old Stone Face himself! This was brilliant.

[@ArtsyFartsyTimo]

thanks!

[@philtowers1392]

Very good! It's all about the magic gems... I didn't read that it was a joke so was screaming "Nooooo!" at the screen for some time. Haha

[@Modenut]

The gems is the secret. Without those this would have been a disaster and not the spectacular success we see in the video. Also, that jar of Shellaq. Good stuff.

[@thetoraj]

but seriously though, maybe it was Utopia, but how do you do that to Bearsville vinyl?

[@evil_smartrising1346]

Well, I just finished treating my entire collection of The Rolling Stones with industrial drain cleaner. They have the texture of chewed up fondant now but they should sound wonderful on my Crosley Suitcase Turntable.

[@ArtsyFartsyTimo]

lol

[@sumerislesummerlandsmusic6438]

The Crosley suitcase smokes the Technics 1200... its a real sleeper.

[@bigboxbobby2]

I am working on my entire Jazz collection using this method during lockdown - I hope it works!

[@bryce6713]

"Shhhhit" "Gaww dammit" thank you

[@BansheeFifteen]

OH my gosh, I laughed so hard. Especially at the end. Thank You.

[@twistedrootsministries]

Hilarious. Nicely done. How'd did you not crack up while filming?

[@paulriggs42]

I almost choked with laughter….you really made my day 😂😂😂

[@enemycoke]

If flattening doesn't involve the clearly superior sledgehammer-on-concrete method then I call shenanigans.

[@ArtsyFartsyTimo]

If I ever do a Part 3 (so much hate, not sure I will bother), I'll just say you are on the right track. ;)

[@BasilChapman045]

Had a good laugh at this especially the fact of how calm he is while everything goes wrong lmao

[@JohnDoe-uq3mx]

Extremely meticulous video, beautifully done.

[@MaxxUrban]

This is very funny! I haven't laughed so hard in a long time. Thanks!

[@chrertoffis]

This is probably how I'm gonna look when I actually try to clean some records.

[@kjm-ch7jc]

You forgot candles and a happy birthday.

[@barryp9463]

I had a good giggle you have missed your calling as a comedian 😂

[@christianolivera3286]

😂😂😂 when he starts putting the gems down

[@rickmelin4926]

Fantastic, i laughed i cried and even got to hear herb alpert. Bravo!

[@NackDSP]

the flat red label Bob Dillan transformed into ??? Warped Penguin Cafe' Ha. Love it.

[@michaelhance8402]

I remember one time some elmers glue dried out on one of my Lps; I just used soap & water from the faucet in my kitchen, then spun dried it on a clean dry Terri-cloth towel. It works 98% of the time!.

[@AVUM47]

This video was awesome! I need to change my cleaning method

[@ArtsyFartsyTimo]

lol

[@tomwilliams9612]

OKAY.... when you brought the SANDER OUT.... I rolled !!

[@arminhoffmann9928]

Watching this physically and mentally hurts me... great job.🥇

[@rocon86]

Cringed when I seen the glue on the label and also the tight bond glue warping the record. It's funny but scary at the same time.

[@this1just1in]

Oh man, this is comedy gold...

[@devilboy45]

"Oh shit..." LOL

[@PUNKSLUDGE]

What did these records do to deserve this?

[@liamtrumbore2570]

Omg you really fucked up the labels

[@richcherecwich2764]

Could never get the glue method to work, and now I know why -- I wasn't using gems!

[@ArtsyFartsyTimo]

lol - I've discovered some people are taking the video too seriously (very sensitive). I think the glue method is amazing - I didn't mean to criticize the method, just make something silly

[@jaybanz1228]

When you pulled out the electric sander I thought Jesus take the wheel 😂

[@TotallyNuss]

You need to get Vinz Clortho in on this.

[@AudiophileLaws]

this is soo good!

[@seqouiaflame]

Gems?! 15 minutes later... HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!

[@SublimatedIce]

You didn't try superglue or epoxy, which are best for getting the really deep down dust and dirt. They also fill minor scratches. :(

[@ChilledCanadian]

1:25 What if pennies don't exist in your country? Also 0:55 how to destroy the lable 101

[@DubstructorMusic]

Where's part 3? These are hilariously awesome

[@ArtsyFartsyTimo]

Considering all the "thumbs down" votes, I'm not sure there are that many people clamoring for that. lol

[@madmeister407]

I use a joint planer on my vinyl, really puts a polish on the surface. sounds really quiet.

[@jaxnean2663]

I laughed so hard! Great video, fun and funny to watch! Love it.

[@ArtsyFartsyTimo]

Atticus thanks you

[@CodeRed001]

Subscribed, this reminds me of a Tim and Eric short.

[@teel3651]

7:59 This part really got me xD You really have a great sense of humor xDDD

[@ArtsyFartsyTimo]

+ShinoTV - ha, thanks

[@musicfun2606]

Oh, I forgot. What do you mean, Just having fun? You should remove that from the title. This makes it easier, but it's not fun. I mean, it's hard work pulling that stuff off after it hardens!

[@RossCourtright]

Only realized it was a joke when he broke out the gems
