Static Build Up On Record Surface


I have a VPI 16.5 record cleaning machine. When I use the standard VPI record cleaning fluid to clean my newly acquired records, I notice an excessive amount of static build up on the record surfaces when the newly cleaned records are played.

VPI owners, is this normal or am I doing something wrong in the cleaning process?

Yep, any more than 2 spins on my 16.5 causes problems, though a Zerostat will eliminate the static. There is a further discussion of other static sources on the "tech talk" board.
