LP Disaster

I built a shelf for my LPs in my storage closet. I was in there last night looking for something I hadn't listened to in a while and the record was damp, and saw more near it that were. Then I started looking deeper into the situation. Turned out that 3/4 of a gallon of VPI fluid (which I had not so brightly placed on the TOP shelf, over all the records) had leaked out of the jug at the bottom through a tear in the jug, down three shelves and then through about 50 LPs. Some were dripping wet, where the fluid had collected in the plastic wrap. Ugh. A few hours later I have salvaged the wet ones, and put them all out to dry and have been using Clorox wipes to disinfect everything. There is already some mold and I will be remediating the mold as everything dries out. The jackets on many of these are going to be rough but the vinyl should be OK after I clean it again. What a pain, but I think I caught it early enough and the bulk of the collection is safe. The moral of the story--I am going to keep the cleaning stuff separate and leak proof from here on out. Physical media can be frail due to our own negligence. Be safe everyone!
