how to use a dry brush after the VPI 16.5 cleanings

Posted by T&T (A) on May 14, 2007 at 12:22:33

I really try to avoid using my VPI cleaning machines unless the album is new or very dirty.

Here are my steps for cleaning dust acquired during play.

1. Zerostat gun used to reduce static on both brush and album.
2. gently hold audioquest brush and after a few spins, slow down table to a stop. (While brushing--my table allows this)
3. The brush works very well, but leaves a line of dust. (I'm afraid to brush against the groove.)

Here is where I get crazy.

4. Zerostat again on the line of dust.
5. Use hair dryer (on cool) to blow the dust line off.
6. Brush one more time very slightly.

Am I missing any steps? Please don't laugh at me as I know this is very obsessive behavior...(Although I'm sure I'm far from alone here on the asylum) I won't bother to explain my wet cleaning steps...I'm sure you'd all send the paddy wagon and a straight jacket straight to my home
