 | Hawkmarty SUBS Do You Like It Here Now Member since Dec 2012 3050 Points Moderator | I'm sure all LP collectors want to ask this. Can anybody suggest a suitable glue for sticking sleeves back together? Laminated, non-laminated and when the original glue is still there as is usually the case. |

| Hawkmarty SUBS Do You Like It Here Now Member since Dec 2012 3050 Points Moderator | Sounds a bit fiddly but a novel suggestion. Thanks. |

 | Redpunk SUBS Crates Are For Digging Member since Aug 2012 25322 Points Moderator | Be warned double sided tape can decay over time depending on brand used and leech sticky residues onto sleeves and discs. I house the LP outside the outer sleeve with them both inside a polyprop sleeve and do not worry about the sleeve coming unglued. |

 | Magic Marmalade If you're not lost... It's not an adventure! Member since Jun 2014 3745 Points Moderator | I got a bottle of Blu Tack white glu from my local newsagent a couple of years back... (still got half a bottle left!) ...If sleeves have simply come unstuck, I take out the record, put two rulers in under the flaps (inside ones - not flip-backs ((Outside flaps))), to properly space the thickness of the record, and stop glue sticking the inside of the sleeve together... ... glue a thin line along each of the flaps, stick the sleeve to the flaps in the correct position (so the rulers stop it squishing in too far, and so allowing you to get the record back in afterwards), then put a big book on each side to hold it, and leave it for an hour. Good as new. (This is also good for flip-backs re-glued to the outside of the sleeve back). |

| ppint. Member since Aug 2012 6397 Points | white pva woodworking glue - any brand name or none - also good for rebinding paperbacks - the old glue first needs removing, if at all possible. the two faces of card being re-glued need to be held together whilst it's drying - it often eventually dries clear. paperbacks need a certain minimum thickness of pva glue to remain between their pages' inner edges and the (usually card) cover, to form the (slightly flexible) spine. |

 | TopPopper Member since Mar 2013 2612 Points | I would strongly advise against sticky tape. It's fine to start with but in years to come, it will yellow and flake off, leaving permanent staining where it's been. I've always used Pritt stick. Apply carefully (to avoid it going over the edge and sticking something which shouldn't be stuck) then, as nboldock says, weigh it down for five minutes, and it's going to be as-new. Handle with care afterwards, as you should do anyway, and it's a 100 percent success. |

| kab2112 SUBS Wales, where men are men and sheep are nervous Member since Jan 2011 15471 Points Moderator | Double sided sticky tape cannot be seen. It sticks to both surfaces and gives excellent results,. I've been using this method for a few years now. I've also used Pritt stick which also does an excellent job if you're careful. |

| Hawkmarty SUBS Do You Like It Here Now Member since Dec 2012 3050 Points Moderator | Thanks everyone. I considered a glue stick but got it in my mind that it wasn't a permanent bond. I'll try it out on some of the tat I've been buying for the site. Edited by moderator on 17th Jun 2017, 6:25 PM |

 | Vinylville You can't overdose on music. Member since Jan 2016 1046 Points | Elmer's white glue has always worked for me. Not sure if it is available outside the States. Easy to apply and dries clear. |

| ppint. Member since Aug 2012 6397 Points | vinylville: see above, under white pva glue, the generic woodworking & craft card and paper glue, also used for sizing; if it is branded as art or craft adhesive rather than for woodworking (or building), and sold in smaller, usually squeezy bottles, it is more expensive per cc/ml (or per fl.oz., or per g/kg, or per oz./lb.). |

 | albert oh well, la di da Member since Aug 2013 1345 Points | Forget the glue, first thing to try is a warm iron (no steam). Pretty much all of the LP sleeves that come apart are found to have been originally hot-glued together, so all you need to do is reapply heat to re-melt the glue. Its a good idea to just use an ironing board (not a table) and use a sheet of paper between the iron and the LP cover, the heat will penetrate through the cover OK, but leave it to one side to cool down or it will just ping apart again. Oh, and don't forget to remove the vinyl and any inserts before you apply the iron PS - irons/hairdryers and a pair of tweezers are also useful for removing very stubborn price stickers.

| TopPopper Member since Mar 2013 2612 Points | That's a grest tip, Albert. Not sure I'd be brave enough to try it on my most prized assets though. (By which, I mean records, of course.) |
