@antinn Mr. Antinn, thank you for making your highly researched record cleaning book available at no cost to us vinylphiles. In this day, that is extraordinarily charitable of you. Hats Off!
Record cleaning fluid for degritter machine
So using the advice of this and other forums, I purchased the surfactant Tergitol 15-S-9 and a small bottle of 91% isopropyl alcohol to replace the record cleaning additive that degritter sells to add to the distilled water after degassing. Since only a few drops of the degritter solution are required, I figure that adding a couple of drops of the surfactant and of the alcohol sounds about right. What do you think?

If you view the book, Chapter XIV Table XXIII, you will see there is a no-rinse concentration that provides wetting only; no detergency. To achieve detergency with surfactant(s), the concentration needs to be high enough that rinsing is recommended to prevent residue.

@lubachl, thank you for the complement. One caveat, the book is specific to say that it addresses "a" way to clean records, not "the" way. The best cleaning process is the one that is best for you. Otherwise enjoy and understand that it is by @whart (Bill Hart) who owns The Vinyl Press - to graciously step-in as publisher offering the book for free via his site. |
@antinn Have you ever considered making a hard copy of your book? I am quite certain there would be a sizable market for it. Like most folks I do not mind reading downloaded material but I would prefer a hard copy for the ease of looking up stuff.
