If you’re leaving shrink wrap on your records after opening them… you might be slowly destroying your vinyl collection.

Most collectors don’t realize that shrink wrap continues to tighten, putting pressure on your record jackets and damaging them permanently. I’ll show real examples of how vinyl covers get ruined, explain the science behind shrinking plastic, and share the ONLY situation where I keep shrink wrap on records (and why). Most importantly, I’ll walk you through exactly what to do after removing shrink wrap so your records stay in mint condition for years.
