Gruve Glide


Does anybody know exactly what this stuff is made of ? I just picked up a Vpi HW16.5 machine and a can of the Gruve Glide. This has shown some amazing results to my old collection. But the Gruv Glide smells like silicone. I was wondering if there was a generic product that would be less than $26 a can.

I'm certain that it's not silicone but is rather a dry lubricant. One can will treat way more albums than the instructions say and I urge you to use it sparingly. I'm as cheap as anybody and feel it's a real bargain. Don't go huffing the stuff as I'm sure you will lose some valuable brain cells. Sorry about not answering you question directly but I'm sure that the formula is a well gaurded secret.
Tobias,

In my system Gruv Glide does reduce surface noise a bit BUT the biggest advantage is no static electricity build up. I own an LP12. The felt mat no longer gets picked up with the record in the winter time. That's enough to jusitfy its use.
Stevecham,

I had that happen once when I used too much. I now use the smallest amount that I can with a single spray. I figure that I treat perhaps 4-500 albums with one can.
