Place the record on a record player, then turn on the record player so it rotates.
-
With a note card, apply the wood glue so that it covers the entire record surface.

-
Turn the record player off after you apply the wood glue.
-
Let the record sit for 12 hours to dry.

-
After 12 hours, check to see the wood glue has dried.
