Zerostat Milty really?

Ok. So I have massive amounts of static at times when playing vinyl. So much so that it can pull my arm from my table (Thorens TD-124) onto the platter when removing the lp. I am worried I will ruin my stylus when it hits. So I bought the Zerostat and have been using it according to the instructions and the static is still out of control. Is this thing for real or what? Am I doing something wrong? Please help.

Just checked, the brush is still being sold: https://www.adorama.com/cpsmb1.html?gclid=CjwKCAjwx7DeBRBJEiwA9MeX_KT_5IEuluuu8ICYDJqJGc_Wx_036IXUW4...

It is expensive and Polonium has a 6 month half life so you will need to buy refills. 

I am going to try weaving a copper wire down the center of my carbon brush and run a connection to an outlet. That might work?

Buy an ion generator type air purifier and a humidifier. Problem solved! There are a number of anti static sprays, some of which are long lasting, some aren’t, if problem persists. I even have one, Sonic Tonic. Nordost has had for like forever.

Milty and Gruvglide work well for me.

I’ve got the 3-inch wide version of that brush, which contains polonium, I think. It works.
