| The "Very Best Record Cleaning Formulation" @wizzzard, "I know Engineers, and, you sir are no Engineer" You're attempt at using the infamous "Benson Quayle" debate line as an insult is pathetic. Just make sure you tell U.S. Navy and NAVSEA that they were wrong to award me the Engineer... | |
| The "Very Best Record Cleaning Formulation" @wizzzard, And now "Mr. W" relates "grade school guidelines" about drops and weights, never stopping to consider that I, Wizzzard, actually weighed out two drops of Tergitol 15-S-7 on his $5,600 Sartorius analytical balance. Not just once but fi... | |
| New Hobby Ultrasonic Record Cleaning "5-chloro-2-methyl-4-isothiazoline-3-one and 2-methyl-2H-isothiazol-3-one" The above is just an anti-microbial agent added for shelf-life. This free book - Precision Aqueous Cleaning of Vinyl Records-3rd Edition - The Vinyl Press goes into det... | |
| KLaudio or Degritter Mark II @oldaudiophile, First some observations on your current cleaning regime: The 15-ml of Tergitol 15-S-9 in a 6L bath = [(15-ml)/(6000-ml)]x100% = 0.25% which is 5-10X greater than what I recommend in the book - XIV.9.4. Did you mean 15-ml or 1... | |
| KLaudio or Degritter Mark II @oldaudiophile, Below is a compare and contrast I did for someone regarding the Degritter vs the KLAudio. This post is a quick overview of some of rules with ultrasonic cleaning: Audiogon Discussion Forum to refesh if needed. Note that owning n... | |
| Vacuuming after ultrasonic vinyl cleaning @orthomead, Here is the Clearaudio record cleaning solution manual - CA_Cleaning fluids_E+D.pdf (clearaudio.de). If you read page 7, it shows how much alcohol to add to their Pure Groove essence "Since our regular Pure Groove has to be shipped a... | |
| The "Very Best Record Cleaning Formulation" @mijostyn, "I'm a bit confused. You said the record did not fluoresce but the rinse water did. The stuff that did not fluoresce on the record now fluoresces in the rinse water. I'm having trouble with that." The residue that was on the record... | |
| The "Very Best Record Cleaning Formulation" @lewm, The records were dried enough to leave the record dry without static. However, I suspect you are misunderstanding what I was trying to say. So, let me rephrase this mathematically. If 5-ml of cleaner was applied to the record, 4-ml was suc... | |
| The "Very Best Record Cleaning Formulation" @mijostyn, Thank-you for the complement. | |

| The "Very Best Record Cleaning Formulation" FWIW: The benefit of the nonionic surfactant Tergitols 15-S-7 & 15-S-9 are their very high performance as compared to the older Triton X100. -Surface tension of the water is ~72 dynes/cm. -Surface tension of the record is ~37 dynes/cm. -10... | |
| UPS Driver Literally Drops Package with New Hana Umami Red Not to escape the obvious, but was this near $4K cartridge not shipped with signature-required? | |
| The "Very Best Record Cleaning Formulation" @wizzzard, The discourse with using Hansen solubility parameters is not unknown - Hansen solubility parameter - Wikipedia. My use of it within this forum was only as a prediction. If your feelings on this subject are so intense, you have a poss... | |
| The "Very Best Record Cleaning Formulation" @kylehildebrant . My reference for a concern was an open top UT tank with 6000-ml and larger volume. Your HG contains 350-ml in a mostly closed tank. Ask the manufacturer who is very responsive to requests what they think. Beyond flammability th... | |
| The "Very Best Record Cleaning Formulation" @wizzzard, You can say what you wish, but the law (29 CFR 1910.106) is very specific as to what is classified as flammable - NFPA_30_Fact_Sheet_2021.ashx. And, in larger volumes, in small spaces, flammable vapors can be build up - NFPA Journal - ... |
