I have to admit I've never tried one, I'd be more afraid of what it would leave on the surface than what it would lift out! A good anti-static brush would be a safer bet.

I'd use this before I'd buy that

The other option is the spin clean or one of its variants, but the money is a good bit higher

After that you're into either wet vacuum or ultrasonic machines at much more money and hassle again

Thanks for the responses ..
I have just got my record deck working again (Linn-Axis) and I have a number of second-hand (charity shop) LP's I would like to clean. I am happy to risk damaging them but not doing something that would damage the needle (Its an Ortofon MC-15 Super-II moving-coil).
I think the Tonar is a copy of ... the Nagaoka record cleaner ..

I have also seen people suggesting cleaning records by coating them with Resin-W (or similar) and then peeling it off ..

I really wouldnt try the wood glue thing, not on records i liked any way!
I have a record cleaning machine if you want to get them cleaned, I'm in Dublin 6. Get you started anyway!

There are cheaper versions of that disc cleaner on amazon- down to €40 or so. Ivors offer might be a good way to get going at least?

Thanks for the offer. Much appreciated. I won't take you up on it for the moment.
Here is a link to the glue cleaning option ...
