Sc53,
Good to hear you don't have the problem. I don't know how to describe the residue. . . . . It definitely is not any kind of "plastic shaving" or dust. Looks like a bunch of dots where the record comes in contact with the mat. Kind of looks like the sorts of water drop stains that can be left on glasses or on silverware after washing them. Don't know what sort of residue it is, though, but it is troubling.
I should also note that washing the mat twice (and subsequently wiping down with record cleaning solution) did help some. Now the residue is only on the outer inch of the record, rather than all over the surface--which was the case initially.
