Although I can't give away all my little secrets I have painstakingly developed through trial and error since it's inception back in the summer of 2008.

NEVER throw your damaged vinyl in the trash because it ends up in a landfill. Vinyl records are non-biodegradable and can last forever in landfills. Vinyl is made from polyvinyl chloride (PVC), a petroleum product that's resistant to the conditions in landfills. Recycling vinyl records can only be done at a few facilities due to the harmful and toxic PVC when broken down.
