Steam cleaning records 2

Love the Mapleshade steam gun, looks very 50's space movie style. Does it work as well as the others mentioned? Didn't realize how divesified the mapleshade guy was. Not happy about his use of old growth maple, though, even if he does employ the Amish to do it.

Tvad, maybe the new Coke is not the same formula, but in the olden days car collectors used coke to remove rust from chrome, first brought to my attention way back in the 70's by a marketing professor of mine, who was into vintage cars.

Funny you.....
The marketing class I was in tried it, and it does work, or did then, for rust...can't attest to any other miracle claims...it made several of us give it up way back then, as best we could.

Maybe this has already been covered here, but seeing the Mapleshade site, and seeing their claim of the steam reaching only 140 degrees, isn't that really more like misting than actually steaming (I think of steam as very hot). Why not just warm your cleaning fluids or preferred water to 140 or so and spray? Why the need for this so-called steamer?
And, one more, has anyone actually bought and used the Mapleshade steamer?

Chashas the old perfection steamer I use has pressure behind the steam
It has force to help get deep inside the grooves. For my rinse cycles
I think this has a positive effect on playback.

So how do you know that it is really going deep inside the grooves as you say? Do you think it's the mist that does that, or just liquid in general? Why not just spray your record with an atomizer...has anyone tried that and compared?
I had a small travel steamer once, really didn't work worth a damn. It was hardly more than a mister, slightly warm, nothing more. A real steamer to my mind emits steam, which is 212F, and that's hot.
I would love to have somebody with a steamer try just spritzing their lp with the same amount of fluid they think they would administer with a "steamer" and report in.

Also, why does no one seem to own a Mapleshade steamer? No one seems to have said so on this thread.

Crem, since you seem to be in league with them, do you own one, why or why not?

Thanks and take care!
