And again, Tite-Bond II is the glue of choice... havnt used III, and 'I' performed poorly (too brittle, shreds on removal)
With a thin credit card (membership cards usually are perfect) you can do a side in 20 seconds. put disc on turntable... on at 33rpm, drop a stream of glue from inner run out slowly to lead in (leaving perhaps a 3/4" gap between your glue spiral)... turn off table... spin record by hand with one hand, use card to spread out glue with other hand.... in a few seconds youve got the smoothest, most consistent glue job youll ever have.... and you can work the glue like this as hard into the grooves as you want... spend a few extra moments spinning in the glue into the grooves.... much better effectiveness!
I have the opposite experience and approach.
I use Original Titebond and it works like a champ, not brittle at all. I also spread the glue on in a "daisy" pattern while the TT is off. Then, turn on @ 33, use the card and first slowly work the glue, then give a little force/pressure to get it in the grooves, then slowly rework for an even spread. I use a card similar to a hotel "key" (flimsier than a credit card (maybe this is what you use as well)).
Similarly opposite! But, I agree, working the glue into the grooves really makes a difference on the sound (and lack of noise).
