Gruve Glide


Does anybody know exactly what this stuff is made of ? I just picked up a Vpi HW16.5 machine and a can of the Gruve Glide. This has shown some amazing results to my old collection. But the Gruv Glide smells like silicone. I was wondering if there was a generic product that would be less than $26 a can.

Saw the UFO, too. Seems like it is designed to float in a sink of water such that the record doesn't come in contact with the sink.(?) It is the same principle as the Groovmaster and uses o-rings to seal. The only advantage I can see is that it might give more to hold on to while cleaning. I suggested to Mr. Groovmaster that he make both "handles" on his item longer so that it is easier to hold on to when cleaning "side B". He thanked me for the suggestion but I don't know if he ever incorporated it into his product.

I have used and not used Gruve-Glide. I used to have a real issue with static and it helped tremendously in that regard. I, too, feel that its intended effect is as a lubricant but I am not sure that I hear any sonic difference when using it - but the reduced static was very helpful, indeed.
I just screwed a hard rubber faucet washer onto the threaded bolt. Makes the handle on that side stick out far enough so you can grab it securely.

Come on you guys, do I have to do ALL the thinkin' around here?! :->

P.S. No sign of the Wally yet.
Yeah well I did something similar the second time I used it Doug so you can rest your brain! :-)

Wally be WAY slow.
