  • Project RCM, I'm on the third warranty. My latest mix of cleaner is 40% alcohol, 60% water, about 16 drops of Tergitol, 8 drops of X-Flo (or whatever it's called!!)

    I just cleaned the 7 inch collection from my Grans house via my Mum, about 80 disks. It's taken me 2 years to do it. They were filthy.

    You don't get new records but they are clean enough. Problem is you then need to keep them away from the rotting paper covers so you need japanese style 7" anti static inner sleeves and while you're there you may as well enter them into discogs, create a label and stick it to a brand new sealable poly outer.

    Only then will you know how far gone I am :) I'm happy though.

    Sorry me and my record cleaning again... May I ask what qty of solution you're making with so much Tergitol at once ? Is that for 2 litres perhaps?
    The seller I bought from recommends 2 drops for 500ml solution (400ml distilled water + 100ml rubbing alcohol).

  • Maybe go with that recipe then. I'm no scientist!

    My recipe is about 8 drops from each bottle of Tergitol, i.e. the oil based and water based as far as I understand. Thing is I have a tendency to start at 5 and then do an extra one and a year later it's 8.

    I would probably have problems keeping it for the length of time it will last if I only used 2 drops each time. There must be a level of dilution of the supplied Tergitol to consider to I suppose.

    Whatever way you look at it it's very good value in comparison with Art Du Son.
