[sdiy] OT: scratch filter for vinyl

[User Friendly]

Clean your stylus!

Keep your records away from static!

Keep your records and tables away from dust!

And use gruvglide =)

It's a non corrosive coating you can apply to your
vinyl to actually increase the fidelity and life of your
records. Supposedly it is easier on the stylus as
well.
