LAST???? Has anybody tried this?

I have also used the last preservative over a 16 year period and swear by it for all the reasons given above.

Last Preservative(used to be ? is? ) made up of trifluor-trichlor-ethylane. This stuff was used for spectography in the med. professions and could be bought in bulk. It worked just as well as the original Last factory concoction for a much cheaper price. I've stopped using it, because it is harmful to the atmosphere and I suppose that Last has changed its prescription as well for the self same reason. I also had used it for well over 15 years on many thousands of LPs.

Detlof and others- Not only is the trifluoro-trichloro-ethyl(e?)ne harmful the to ozone (altho the amount used is very small), it also is harmful to groundwater if you have a septic system/well. You wouldn't want to spill it on the ground or have it go down the drain.

Thanks Swampwater for getting the spelling right and for your general warning. Cheers,

LAST has been out for many years and works quite well. I've used it many times. One thing I don't like about LAST is that once applied it won't come off, and it permanently changes & affects the vinyl. So if you don't like the sound you are stuck. It's also not real easy to apply. None the less good stuff.

I have been using GruvGlide and like that better.It does not affect or change the vinyl, record sound is definitely improved, very economical and easy to use. They are in the Audiogon manufacture directory under "G" or www.gruvglide.com (also stereophile recommended for years).

Hope this helps, and happy listening!
