Good question lewm. I use an anti-static ionizing fan that produces both positive and negative ion air flow. I use it where i take the records out of the covers. I just hold the record up to the fan for a few seconds to discharge the static. Definitely works well. You can tell with a piece of paper that is statically attached to the record When you place it in front of the fan upside down (paper down), after a few seconds the paper falls off as static dissipates. Fast, easy, and fairly inexpensive.
