Eliminating static electricity from albums??

After cleaning and just before play, to dispel static charge lift the LP from the turntable and touch its edge to the tip of your nose. It works, no kidding!

I've been cleaning my records for many years with my VPI 16.5 and Torumat Fluid. I don't know why, but the Torumat Fluid pretty much eliminates static electricity. After cleaning, the record gets a new rice paper sleeve. This technique removed the problem entirely.

Like Vvrinc and unlike Ncarv I find playing records often produces static buildup. My spindle and arm are both grounded but apparently there's still no good path from the vinyl to ground.

The old 'Dust Bug' type devices (sort of an extra tonearm with a brush instead of a cartridge) could be modded by adding conductive CF bristles and a ground wire. That would presumably do the trick.

Cleaning on my Loricraft invariably removes all static. I use a Zerostat after playing each side to remove any buildup. I'll have to try shakin' and nosin', good tips!

I clean them on a VPI 16.5 and treat them with Gruv Glide and that does the trick for me.

I got it direct from the Disc Doctor himself, and it seems to work for me (playing them). But, I live in South Florida, a very humid climate, so not a lot of static to begin with. I don't find the Zerostat, or my carbon fiber brush, does much for me in the way of static.
