Results from Beta Testers of New Formulas

I am frankly alarmed.

I don't understand Jeff's logic at all. Just because he is not a chemist; therefore, he is not interested in tests conducted to ensure the safety of his records and argues others should also not care as well?

Just to reiterate, there's absolutely nothing wrong with asking Gonners to try an untested vinyl solution. Chances are nothing bad will happen to the vinyl, and, as Sean stated, just try it out on your junk records. However, what alarms me is the Paul's inability to state a disclaimer stating no test has been done to test the safety of his product, and that the beta testers are the ones testing not only the effectiveness of the solution but also the ones finding out if there are any potential drawbacks.

I never read the initial post, so maybe Paul stated some disclosures in there that I missed. However, seeing his replies to 4yanx leaves gives me a less than confident impression of Paul's practice as a businessman (I see him as a vendor and not as a fellow Gonner). It's a shame because 4yanx is obviously an interested party.

The ninjas are just red herrings to the real truth.

Audiophile gnomes are the real culprits. They go to work after you go to sleep...

Thanks for the input Slipknot. I have a lot of old LPs that might be in need of such a solution. I just don't have an LP player at the moment to test the stuff out with.

Just supporting what Sean contributed. Enzymes are used during the digestiion process. And, there are many types of enzymes from protease to lactase (one which I lack).

One major factor that leads to greater effectiveness of enzymes, as Sean has already described, is temperature. One of the main reasons mammals are warm blooded is because we can supply our own "furnace" when digesting; a distinct advantage over cold blooded organisms. The other two factor would be how concentrated the enzyme is and how much velocity/viscosity, agitation, is involved between the enzyme and what is being digested.

So, warming up the enzyme a bit might prove to increase its effectiveness on your records. Dunno if that will harm your records though but doubt it as the type of enzyme being used here seems to be protease which doesn't have chemical reaction with anything other than protien.
