Re: [ARSCLIST] Record cleaning fluid recommendations?

[David S Sager <dsag@xxxxxxx>]

I would add that we do not include the amonia listed among the
indredients and do add a capfull of Kodak Photoflow.  The rest of the
recipe as is.

Richard, et al,

My colleague David Sager pointed out that LC's formula for record
cleaning is on our website (and has been for over a year). This
formula
was developed by Chandru Shahani, Head of LC's R&T Lab. As it is being
used, Dr. Shahani has been noting problems and has continued to tweak
the formula. It should be considered a work in progress. For those
interested:

clean discs ?  - please notice the wording of the question, which does
