I presume you mean that you spilled a load of sticky, sugary drink on your record ? :) I can suggest that you actually try _washing_ the record. As far as I know, tepid, slightly soapy water will do no real damage to your vinyl - I have in the past practically immersed at least one really filthy record; and if applied with a soft cloth, say a J-cloth, you can keep the wetness from soggying the label too. Lay the record on a flat surface covered with something that won't scratch it, like a towel, then wipe the wet cloth round it lots of times till all the crap comes off. Dry off with another J-cloth then clean as usual with a carbon brush to remove any residue left by the cloth. have fun J ^ __________ ________.__/_____ _||_/ James Skilton aka Steady J _[]/_____________[.__\____-_ DJ and Party Animal | Ae discog on-line now! | Part Time Hedonist |____________________________| Full Time Technohead |__|-' '-|__| Steady-J@Firefox.co.uk http://subnet.virtual-pc.com/~sk393820/
