Vinyl Cleaning: Device to keep label dry?

I have some rough vinyl that will require more than a damp brush to resurrect. I will need to immerse the platters in soapy water. I thought I saw somewhere some kind of device that clamps onto the record, encircling the label and sealing it from water damage. Maybe it had a silicone gasket type material where it holds onto the record.

Anyone know what I saw, or was it another weird dream?

I have one of those Groovmaster's shown in the post linked by Hifihvn. It does its job well.

The guy who made them used to sell direct on ebay but he doesn't seem to be listing them now. If you can't find one for sale, Google "groovmaster" and several sites will pop up showing how to DIY from bits available at Home Depot. I could be persuaded to part with mine, since washing LP's by hand no longer cuts it for my purposes.
