like Titebond works even better.
It's a bit thicker with less liquid content so less likely to spread
any unnecessary... moisture... beyond where it is applied. Also
drys quicker and holds mighty well.
For U.S. LPs OR European LPs (which usually are initially factory glued
with inferior glue) which is not something you want to have to repeat
orally tens times quickly. Deutsche Grammophon (especially Italian
pressings) are a prime example. But those European fold over LPs
are way easier to deal with than a split U.S. cover.
With U.S. LPs the manilla envelope technique works well
too or folding booktape along the inside seams, which is a PIA.

With the US-style jackets, where the seams split from sliding the LPs in and out of the shelf, I usually just use clear Scotch-type tape. Coupla small strips to hold everything in place, then a long strip folded over.
Or something like that.
Most of my LPs are in clear plastic outer-outer sleeves so split seams are more of an annoyance than something that's just gotta be addressed.
The blissful counterstroke-a considerable new message.
always been a Titebond guy, take that as you will.Reason I even know is from putting a couple drops of regular
Elmer's on a piece of paper along with a couple drops of
Titebond ans seeing which "bled" excess moisture into
the paper.I might be nuts, but I was getting paid for this at the time so didn't feel alone being nuts.

Some of it gets squirted into bottles marked "Elmer's," some in bottles with the Titebond logo.

of the manila follder idea before. Some record jackets are really tight though, and the manila folder repair may not work. I am going to try it though.
I have also used school stick glue to repair european record jackets, but it's not as strong as Elmers or Titebond.
