repairing LP covers

Posted by M3 lover on December 13, 2024 at 13:39:31:
When the cover has a folded edge which is separating because of age that can be a simple re-glueing. Elmers is a good paper glue as olddude55 suggested.

A bigger problem is when the cover seam splits, and that is more common in my experience. For that repair I cut an inch wide strip from a manila folder the length of the cover. Find the thinnest possible. Then use a ruler to fold the strip in a straight line down the middle. Apply glue to the two outer sides of the V, bow the cover open (record removed obviously), then slip the V strip inside into place. Place a heavy book or two one that edge to secure flattening. Be careful in applying glue not to use too much and glue more together than you intended.
