Not sure what you are talking about....

But I had the same thing happen to the felt mat on my LP12. That's what it is. It isn't the weather. Here in Minnesota I probably have the same weather you do, only opposite. Cold, dry periods and hot, humid weather. You need to cure the problem or you could potentially wipe out a stylus. I know, I've come close to doing that very thing. You don't need a Zerostat either. I've read about people who treat their records with this only to have it come right back at them. Why? You never removed the source of the problem. If you do a search I'm not the first to realize this. Some other guy a few years back said the very same thing.

Records pressed by RTI are the worse offenders. You can really get some audible improvements once this stuff is off. I've cleaned records over and over (up to several times) to get it off (RTI). But it does come off with the right materials. Some probably work better than others. I have found Disc Doctor, RRL, not as good as other stuff out there to get this stuff off. It is a good test to make sure your records are clean though. When the felt doesn't stick your records are pretty clean. The felt itself isn't a problem.
