RCM Fluid Applicator: Loricraft


In anticipation of the arrival of a just ordered Loricraft -- replacing my VPI16.5 -- I have a question about cleaning solution application.

Spraying/spritzing the record cleaning solution is the method employeed in the Loricraft demo video. Given the higher RPM of the Loricraft vs the VPI (and run-off concerns), using a spray, rather than the drip method of application (before brushing), would appear to be sensible.

As my preferred cleaning solution is RRL, and Brian Weitzel has cautioned against cross-contamination, I'm concerned with simply pouring RRL into just ANY spray bottle.

Are you utilizing a spray bottle, atomizer, and if so:
What are you using?
Where did you procure it?

Assuming some sort of residule may be remaining from the bottle’s/sprayer’s manufacturing, should one be concerned with cleaning the bottle/sprayer etc.? If so, what should be used to clean it?

Doug: Thanks so much for your response, and other tips regarding the care and feeding of the Loricraft. It was a difficult decision to part with the bucks, but as with everything else I’ve done in this hobby, I'm sure I will have no regrets with the decision.

BTW, The breadth and depth of your contributions to this and other forums is extraordinary sir – many kudos to you!! If not the first to suggest or use the ME as a stylus cleaner, you certainly were an enthusiastic adopter and vociferous proponent of its use. It’s hard telling how many folks are using a ME today because of your recommendations (I include myself among them).

Now if I could only borrow Paul's famous sonar-like hearing, and your hands-on technical expertise to fine tune my table and arm....do you two offer house calls, or participate in audiophile mind melds...[grin]....Cheers, Mike
