Cleaning records. How often really?

Mold release? Really? What state within the process is mold released used? I've watched videos of record stamping and there's zero mold release applied. So when is it used, what is it and is "mold release" just a fabricated excuse to sell another product?

BTW, I clean records once. Use a carbon fibre brush, maybe a chenille brush before and after each play. What conditions would require a second cleaning other than a flood?

Bdp24 - Watch a video of the stamping process. No Mold release. Ask The Disc Doctor.

I won't give my opinion of LAST products. I'm still try to scrub off that %&#@ from the few records I treated. After 30 years.

inna - why the insults and condescending remarks?

Inna - Why do you use LAST? And why do you think I should leave this thread?
