How to apply LP9 stylus cleaner?

I pour the entire contents of the original LP#9 bottle into a tiny plastic screw top container (about twice the diameter of a soda cap). I then throw the factory bottle and brush away.

From my new wide top container, I immerse the (supplied) RR stiff brush or my Last stylus brush completely into the LP#9 solution, withdraw it and fling off any excess. I clean the stylus from rear to front as others have described, and then blow out the brush with canned compressed air, removing all the debris and left over fluid.

Undoubtedly I waste fluid this way, but I never worry if the stylus might have been cleaned better. I know the results are stunning, so I continue with this process.

Probably would if you failed to clean the brush after each use.

I keep my brush on a glass shelf under my TT and if there’s dust accumulated since last use, I blow it off with the Dust-Off ® can.

A word of caution, some “dusters” contain ether and are flammable. These are typically cheaper products sold at computer stores.

DustGun 100 by Besseler, and Falcon Dust-Off ® are equal products and the best available, in my opinion.

Brian, my container is a LDPE (Low-Density Polyethylene) and I guess I should have mentioned that fact. Since you supplied my container I never concerned myself with the dangers of accidentally using PTE (Polyethylene Terephthalate).

Typically PTE is used to contain bottled water and such and is seldom in packages of the size I mentioned.

Still, It would help those wanting to use my “wasteful” stylus cleaning method by advising them as to where they may purchase Record Research “approved“ containers.

Do you offer these for sale?
