Gels and Goops will not remove this layer. They aren't aggressive enough. Liquids won't remove it unless they contain alcohol or other solvents that are dangerous to some cartridge suspensions and stylus/cantilever glues. What's needed is something that will physically abrade those vinyl molecules loose without doing damage....
Simply unscrew the lid of the Stylus Cleaner lower your stylus into the top of the open capsul either by hand or preferably using the cue lever allowing just the normal weight of the cartridge.. When you have finished & it is examined it will be spotlessly clean under the microscope. " The best Stylus Cleaner by far." Just gently lower the stylus into the stylus cleaner 3 to 4 times carefully once a month for average vinyl playing & in between using a stylus brush ... Please Note *Do Not move sideways* This may result in removing the stylus similar to you catching your sleeve on the stylus.. No Harmful Chemicals or fluids to damage delicate bond between diamond and cantilever. Works on Both Conical & Elliptical Shaped Stylus .You will be amazed how good this product works! Safe to use & will last you for a very long time 100% Positive Feedback .... Thanks for looking .................. Please See My Other Items For Sale
