Anyone tried their own homebrew cleaning fluid after their original Knosti fluid ran out? What was your experience?
I've just made some up from deionised water, isopropyl alcohol (both from CPC Farnell) and Ecover rinse aid as a wetting agent, but it doesn't seem as easy to use as the original Knosti fluid.
My mix (roughly 3.5:1 + splash of Ecover) is more viscous and doesn't seem to flow off the record as easily, and I've had to add a clean (deionised) water final rinse to the procedure - otherwise there seems to be some residue left on the vinyl.
I may try the photographic wetting agent as an alternative and see if that is more effective at helping the solution run off. At the moment, any excess liquid to tends to 'bead', like water droplets on a car that's been waxed.
