My first try would be the lighter fluid. Used to work in furniture finishing. For cleaning lacquer finishes of that kind of sticky stuff like tape residues we used benzine. Which you can't get in Cali anymore. Switched to VM&P Naptha which may be more or less the same thing. Can't get that in Cali anymore either, I don't think. I believe Ronson's Lighter Fluid is just naptha. Sure smells the same. Doesn't hurt lacquer finish so ought to be OK for vinyl. I have a small precious stash that I got out of state. Because I don't know of another solvent that will do the trick without damaging the finish.
Removing microfibre strip adhesive from a record?
Whilst cleaning an LP in my Clearaudio RCM one of the microfibre strips was dislodged; smearing the lp with its adhesive.
How can I remove the adhesive (without interfering with the audio quality of a mint record)? I thought of using alcohol on a cotton bud - and then quickly cleaning the record to minimise the effect of the alcohol on the plasticiser - but I am not sure.
Can anyone suggest a solution that they have succesfully tried before?
Many thanks in advance, Kostas
