Stylus cleaner

"So the common denominator could be Last... "
The common denominator of what?

"The Dust Buster by Vinyl Passion will arrive today so I'll check out its effectiveness... "
How will you determine the effectiveness?

??? Really...??

Common denominator of the thread & observing amount removed.

It's your thread ...

If it was all that apparent I would not have asked.

Good luck and you should buy some Magic Eraser to test as well.

Ok I will try the Magic Eraser too, thanks.

The Dust Buster works very well; it's like a really thick viscose gel & you can see the remnants of what it's removed.

Great that the Dust Buster works. I think it is about the same as the Onzow. If you are not using a magnifier of some some type to inspect the stylus you should get one like I recommended earlier in the thread for about $10. The 60x magnification really lets you see the stylus and cantilever in detail.
