If there is any styrene in the vinyl
WATCH OUT for goo-gone!!!  

If there is any styrene in the vinyl compound  it will be dissolved and the record is history.
Many of the pressing plants used  styrene as a filler to reduce the  amount of virgin vinyl. It also  looks like a higher polished surface to the eye.
I would try just plain  mineral oil..... most glues are petroleum based and mineral oil is a good solvent that will not hurt most surfaces.

Thank you all,

I have quite a few of those sticky records.
Maybe I'll try each method and let you know which worked best.
I have something called Un-Do. The label says it's good for vinyl.
Maybe I'll try that too.

I myself have tried taking a piece of frosty scotch tape, pressing it to the sticky surface and pulling it off after a few seconds.
It got some of the stuff, but not all.  That's where I'll need to try those different formulas.

Thanks again.
Regards,
Ben Roth

Goo Gone works for me.

I've always used lighter fluid for gummy residue.
