[78-L] Sticky record

[David Lennick]

Lighter fluid did nothing..surprisingly, GooGone DID to a degree, at which 
point I figured I had nothing to lose by trying the regular cleaning method on 
the Monks, and that worked perfectly. So perfectly that it revealed a scratch 
on the disc which causes repeats, so the disc is a $5 "as is" item anyway. But 
it's a clean "as is".

When I've offered a small amount for a trial, the aerosol is dispensed into a small glass vial&  the propellant allowed to evaporate.  This leaves a small volume of aqueous concentrated cleaner, safe for regular mailing.  It can easily be applied by dropper, syringe or wood stick q-tip. Wash&  rinse as usual.
