Gotcha on the Chinese. I didn't realize the fluid was imported. Now I'll have to look when I get home. I believe there were some posts about home brew versions using de-ionized water and alcohol a while back. I havn't searched the archives but but perhaps the posts still exist. On something similar: I few years back we had a pipe break and all my albums got wet. I didn't notice for a couple weeks. In the mean time all the jackets and sleeves got moldy and glued themselves to the records. I uesed blue window cleaner to clean them. Took me about 40 hours to do 400 albums. It worked perfectly. Took the paper binder agents off as well as the paper. It was not amonnia based cleaner but alcohol I believe. Generic Windex. The records are fine but I know some would have a hemmorage over the whole use of window cleaner. It worked and the albums are cleaner than a Safeway chicken. No issues at all. -JD
