Hey there vinyl lovers! Join me in my new series that’s all about records! I’ve been a collector all of my life and there’s nothing I enjoy more than picking out a good album and watching it spin!
Today's video is all about 45's and fixing up the sleeves to make them like new again. There's a great technique I learned from another KZfaqr and I wanted to show you my process.
Why do this? Because if you love vinyl like I do, you want to take care of your collection. From the covers to the wax, all of this is FOR THE RECORD!

Been doing this forever,use the iron on steam,works great,also works on back cover of CDs when they get damp and out of shape at car boots,garage sales,use a steam iron put a piece of printing paper over the cover and iron it flat,if all fails,scan it restore it on screen and reprint it!

I tried this method and does improve wrinkled and bent sleeves and covers. But I used the parchment paper tip as well. So put a piece of parchment paper over the sleeve or cover so your not ironing directly on the sleeve but the heat goes through.

Excellent! Thanks for the video! I’ll try this on some of my ragged ones. (I’ve got a bunch of ragged ones to choose from.)

Great video Brian, but can you do one on how to construct a new 45 jacket to replace ones that don't have them? I know it's easier to buy plain sleeves, but what if you want to construct your own picture sleeve?

I tend to buy white card sleeves and stick the image over it,you can also do this if the pic sleeve is tatty at the edges,cut out the middle front and back and stick it on a card sleeve!

Oh no... place the tape on the inside of the sleeve, slide it in on a tip of a knife or something similar, as for the tops, again the plain inside, using the edge of a small ruler, then trim off excess tape with scissors...

I heard that wood gluing wouldn't be good on styrene 45's. Did you have any issues doing that on the Columbia/Epic records?

Putting tape on a record sleeve is not preserving it, is just damaging it! Keep the original sleeve apart & the record in a new plain sleeve and then both together in a plastic sleeve (not PVC), this is the way!
