Idiot Newbie question


I feel like an idiot for having to ask this...

What's the proper way to use my carbon fiber brush on my records? I'm new to vinyl and don't have anybody to teach me these things...

I have a Hunt EDA brush, if that means anything.

I don't know if it does any good, but I started sort of shaking my Clearaudio brush from side to side while the record rotates. I then change the angle of the brush towards the edge of the record to, more or less, steer the dust towards the edge. I still think that my Discwasher brush did a better job since the edge on one side was wet with fluid and you rock it as the disc rotates to dry the record with the other part of the brush. The fibre is orientated, like those clothes brushes that pick-up dirt only one-way. I have to get more D whatever the number now is liquid and it appears the larger bottle is no longer sold. One has to settle for an eye drop sized bottle, kind of annoying. Word of caution: don't use any excessive pressure on the carbon brush while itÂ’s on the record, it can't do the belt much good. Belt driven tt are low torque, remember. Good luck.
