I might add...
We, as in I, would, use a solvent adhesive to stick new felt down.
I really do not know of an alternative maybe PVA?
Therein, any solvent fumes near shellac of any plastic record can cause a permanent haze to the surface but can etch into the grooves and create noise.
So air out the cabinet most thoroughly or find some other non-solvent adhesive.
I recall as a young lad having a 45 copy of "Smoky Places", it cracked, so I though that a drop of Duco Cement at the very perimeter would keep the split from traveling, it did but around the drop of cement an area of haze developed and into the actual recording. When played the record has a hiss in that area.
I never found another copy of Smokey Places to replace it, I still have it to this day, somewhere... As reminder...
