Recommended cork platter for my SL 1200 GR Technics TT

Howdy folks-

I'm new to the vinyl kingdom but have some early success with cart, phono pre and turntable selections. Most pieces of the system are new and coming together nicely. 

Problem is the Gosh Darn static. Dang! All new and old vinyl is cleaned through my Record Doctor and come off looking good with no charge. Next step into the MoFi static free sleeves and wait to be played. When it's game time, I pull them from the sleeve, no charge but I hit em with the Milty Static Gun, then onto the table to be groomed by my Audioquest anti static brush and played. 

When I pull the record off the table, most have a static charge and some you can feel the charge coming off the record like it's an electrical storm! Dang sauce! 

I'm also running my dehumidifier between playings. I'd say the humidity is around 45 to 55, but doesn't seem to make a difference. 

Cork platter? Shrimp platter? 

Thanks for chiming in!

bpolettiGrab a small allen wrench (usually plenty around audio equipment) and MUTE THE SYSTEM. Touch the allen wrench to the preamp chassis to discharge any static"

This is such silly advise there is nothing magic about an Allan wrench there is no reason to use an Allan wrench at all in this circumstance unless you need an Allan wrench to mute your system which is just about impossible a requirement you can just touch the chassis with your hand its probably a better conducter than the wrench!
