hi all last Friday whilst djing at Ibstock when I took Timi Yuro off the deck the middle came out .Its a very clean break but wondered if anyone had any tips for gluing it back in , sort of best glue for the job and watch out for ect , ect best regards Simon.

Super Glue Gel on the tips of the centre should do the trick!! Not too much mind!! and watch you're fingers Simon!!

Simon. It's a right off. I will kindly take the record off you and care for it. I won't charge you much.   Steve

Simon beware this man is trying to have you over ....don't listen to him ....imagine trying to charge you for taking it off you !!!! I've got a shiny new " outta sight" issue i will swap you for the damaged...indeed knackered  old one FREE !!

I think the first thing to ascertain here is how did the centre detach itself from the rest of the disc.

If it is a British original I would be a bit upset!

Had it previously been repaired?

super glue (ethyl cyanoacrylate) doesn't bond plastic well, and it hazes it up. you need to find a plasticizer like methyl-ethyl-ketone.

or better still try benzyl methyl ketone...won't glue your record for you , but you'll be up all night having fun trying

No I've had it for decades darn't say how much ( less than a quid ) Leicester record fair. I play it every time I dj and always finish with it .Took it off the deck and it just detached.

Thanks for all your help looks like the glue bag for good old captain Black tonight Kids best regards and many thanks captain Black.

Maybe the holes too tight ....

Just a pity that a rare British record is damaged like that.....at least you haven't lost out financially.

I suppose you can only do your best to "repair" it, personally I would leave it....c'est la vie!

You know scal that's a good point may just leave it .

You won't put the value back by 'repairing' it, that's gone.

 

I'd just keep the punch-out middle safe somewhere (so it's with the 45 if you want to sell it at some point) and leave it as it is.

psml, i met a record dealer who specialises in freakbeat who told me a woeful tale of selling one at a record fair for a pitance years ago.
