Replacement CD6+ Fluid for Discwasher Hydrobath
The Discwasher Hydrobath and CD6+ solution has been discontinued for
some time. Can anyone make any recommendations about making up my own solution? Many thanks, Rupesh Patre |

Since the thing basically flings the fluid off the disc so that it does not dry on the disk, you have no worry about leaving residue. All you have to make sure is that you have a solution that won't etch the styrene surface and will remove most junk. I would suggest that the Nitty Gritty and VPI LP-cleaning fluids are probably close to what you want. You could try a 25% solution of isopropanol in distilled water, with 1 cc of Photo-Flo per four liters. (Use the 92% isopropanol from the drug store and avoid the rubbing alcohol grades, which often have additives). --scott -- "C'est un Nagra. C'est suisse, et tres, tres precis." |

What would the difference between using pure Isopropanol plus
surfactant and 25% solution of isopropanol in distilled water. I planned to use pure Isopropanol with some L'Art du Son record cleaning fluid http://www.positive-feedback.com/Issue12/LArtduSon.htm I believe that this contains suitable surfactants. The manufacturers have said that it is suitable. Rupesh |

Thanks for the advice.
I noticed that www.kenneke.com are still selling the Discwasher Hydrobath itself. I thought that it was discontinued many years ago. Rupesh |

But that's easy enough to find - just read the label. My grandfather's next-door neighbor drank 70% isopropanol every day. He swore by the Walgreen's brand, and wouldn't drink anything else, describing it as his "best friend in the world." Personally, I think you're better off playing it safe and buying the 92% stuff. It's only a few bucks more. Don't drink it, though. --scott -- "C'est un Nagra. C'est suisse, et tres, tres precis." |
