Professor Finn Posted April 28, 2016 Share Posted April 28, 2016 I'm wondering what your opinion is on what's best for gluing seams back together, I saw a lot of people said just Elmer's glue or a glue stick but just plain old glue doesn't sit right with me and I hate glue sticks so that's out of the question.A few people double sided tape but that doesn't seem very permanent, I did think maybe those adhesive rollers you use for crafts would work well but I though I'd ask here first.

Sidney Crosley Posted April 28, 2016 Share Posted April 28, 2016 Try rubber cement. Dries smooth and holds well. You can usually find it at craft stores. Professor Finn 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
allenh Posted April 29, 2016 Share Posted April 29, 2016 Wood glue, it's not just for cleaning records you know, it can be used to stick stuff together as well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tardcore Posted April 30, 2016 Share Posted April 30, 2016 It's always difficult when LP jacket seams separate. The important thing to remember is that even though they are separating, it is not your fault and your LP jacket seams will always love you. allenh, Professor Finn, SandwichRecords and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SandwichRecords Posted May 1, 2016 Share Posted May 1, 2016 Try rubber cement. Dries smooth and holds well. You can usually find it at craft stores. I've been thinking about glueing a couple of my sleeves that have come undone, and rubber cement seems like the most legit suggestion thus far. As for sleeves that split along the crease, I don't tape or do anything to those suckers. I just stop putting the record in them and place the record and sleeve separately into the poly outer sleeve. Once the crease splits, a sleeve loses its right to hold a record. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vinyl addict Posted May 1, 2016 Share Posted May 1, 2016 Elmer's glue, if the flap just came undone. I mean, it is paper after all. Works great. I never use tape to repair an LP jacket Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
