I just tried my Perfection again. If I fill it up all the way, I get enough for a full application (before running out of steam and having to reheat).
Sometimes on the 2nd applications (about 20-30 seconds later) I can run out though.
I do have the lid on tight - otherwise steam escapes and it's obvious.
Here's what I do: place the nozzle 4 inches from outside edge. Start steaming. After full revolution, move 1" towards spindle & repeat. Four positions covers the record.
Now three other things I'm noticing:
1) I can't help but warp every LP that's less than 180g (noticible jump of needle during playback)
2) There are settings on the steamer where the nozzle attaches, eg. "I", "II" etc. Does this setting matter?
3) I can't seem to clean out blotches on the LP - stuff that looks like, I dunno, mildew or discolorations. Is that to be expected?
Thanks guys
