Well, you should just use some FG and Media pads, and you'll be great. :-) Not sure what FG would do to vinyl, or polystyrene records.  |  IP: Logged David Stambaugh Film God Posts: 4021 From: Eugene, Oregon Registered: Jan 2002 posted 12-29-2006 11:22 AM                        Heh. Well if "someone" sends me a sample of FilmGuard, I'll be happy to try it on a record and see what happens.  |  IP: Logged Randy Stankey Film God Posts: 6539 From: Erie, Pennsylvania Registered: Jun 99 posted 12-29-2006 12:17 PM                     Didn't it used to be the fashion to play vinyl LPs wet? I heard of people making mixtures of distilled water and Kodak "Photo-Flo" to spread on records before playing them. The idea was supposed to be to prevent damage from the dry stylus being "dragged" over the record and to help the stylus pick up more vibrations from the groove. Or, was this just a bunch of baloney like the way people used to "Green Line" their CDs? If it IS a valid technique, I'd imagine FilmGuard would work well to lubricate the old vinyl, remove dirt and prevent damage. On the other hand, you'd pick up more dirt as the oily FG stays on the record for a longer period of time than water and surfactant would.  |  IP: Logged David Stambaugh Film God Posts: 4021 From: Eugene, Oregon Registered: Jan 2002 posted 12-29-2006 12:23 PM                        I would try it as a cleaning fluid. The VPI record cleaner is vacuum-operated. You spread the fluid over the surface of the record, work it in with a brush, then the fluid/dirt is vacuumed off the record, leaving the surface dry and hopefully clean. If FilmGuard leaves a residue it might not be good though. My homemade cleaning fluid consists of 1 part Windex, 1 part 90% isopropyl alcohol, and 3 parts distilled water. Seems to work very well, leaves no detectable residue. I was hesitant about the Windex at first. Tried other "environmentally friendly" Windex substitutes and hell they don't do anything. Windex works way better. Anyone knows if Windex causes long-term harm to vinyl? I've heard of wet-playing, never tried it though.  |  IP: Logged Mike Blakesley Film God Posts: 12767 From: Forsyth, Montana Registered: Jun 99 posted 12-29-2006 01:14 PM                        I think Film-Guard would not be suitable for a record. Anything that leaves ANYTHING behind is bad. I also heard about wet playing but never tried it either. I've never seen a record vacuum, but the best record-cleaning tool I've seen is the Discwasher. It works in about 5 seconds, is cheap and easy to use, and leaves no residue behind. Not sure if it's still available or not. I have two 20-year-old ones that still work just fine given my limited record usage.  |  IP: Logged Mark Gulbrandsen Resident Trollmaster Posts: 16657 From: Music City Registered: Jun 99 posted 12-29-2006 04:38 PM                     quote: Phil Blake and and old Landcruiser 4x4 Now yer talkin!

Ah, err, ok. Maybe an oasis then? :-) quote: Mike Blakesley Anything that leaves ANYTHING behind is bad. There is an actual product, that I'd roughly equate to FG, but designed for records. A Cleaner/Lube, that's supposed to leave a dry film to lubricate the record. It's call Gruv-glide (spelling??), haven't tried it yet though. I will, however, find a vinyl, and polystyrene, record, which I am willing to experiment with, and run some FG on it. The curiousity kills me. Next week, I'm polishing my tires with FG. Just kidding.  |  IP: Logged Phil Blake Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 558 From: esperance western australia Registered: Nov 2003 posted 12-29-2006 08:34 PM                        attached is a pic of my original landcruiser , have owned it for 29 years and has never let me down, has the 4cylinder 3L diesel in it. just bought another one for spare parts .
