Mylar tape on Teres has lots of static.


Is this normal? Is it harmful? How can it be prevented?
Also i hear there is an etched tape that can be made which is better than standard tape. Can someone give me the formula and point me to where the supplies can be bought? Thanks and Happy New Year.

Last night i lifted the tone arm and left the table turning and got side tracked. Passing in front of my speakers i heard sounds like i forgot to lift the tone arm. After checking again i did and the cause was static on my mylar belt. After applying my De Stat for 10 seconds i returned it to the TT and the sound i heard was gone. I had the volume turned up from the previous lp but dont remember ever experiencing that sound. Its been super cold and dry with almost no humidity down here.
