Looking for Discwasher solution for album cleaning (or formula for making it)

(1/2) > >>

Melanie:
Thread title says it all, looking for a way to use my Discwasher pad. I have a Vacorec, a piece of record cleaning gear that works well, Ron Popeil made a cheap knock off of this device, original one is a good way to clean dust and other superficial dirt off of albums. Need the liquid cleaner for finger oils , imbedded dirt, etc.  Bob

This type of handmade solution is what the tapeheads.net serious vinyl guys swear by.
caution-99.9% alcohol can 'burn' skin

Melanie:
Thank you David and Kyle. I would much rather have personal experience from the two of you then suggestions to "simply goggle it", that's why I love this forum. Personal suggestions rather then posting a "link". No one likes to trust "links"  when actually helpful forum members chime in. Bob
