Spin Clean Fluid Ratio

[Emmbee]

Does anyone know the amount of fluid a "Spin Clean" record washer holds?
I like using it with my old super basic Nitty Gritty "Disk Doctor" I had it in my notes but seem to have lost it. I had made a gallons worth many 6 months ago and I cant remember the mix ratio.

Three bottle cap-full from the small cleaning solution bottle for one water fill of the Spin Clean tub, one capfull from the large bottle as the caps are differently sized.

What Pio says is correct although that is added directly to the reservoir of the SC itself. It'll be more for a gallon tho.

From the small bottle of fluid, it is 3 cap fulls. From the big bottle it is 1.

I think I wasn't clear on my intentions. I no longer have a spin clean machine. I'm just want to use the fluid for an different record cleaning machine. I need to know the amount of water a spin clean holds so I can mix up my own batch. 1 cap full of solution to x amount of water.

seriously?
it can't be "that" critical can it?....I'd say approx little less than a quart.

Im not sure this would work, I mean I'm sure it will clean a record, but isn't the cleaning fluid made so that the dirt and grime are held in the water so that it is not distributed back onto the record. Unless you are using some bath type of cleaning setup, Spin Clean cleaning fluid doesnt seem to me to be very useful for regular scrub or brush type cleaning.

I'm using in an older vac system. It works wonderfully. This is in effect chemistry. The recipes for home brew stuff is pretty exact. I'd just like to get as close as intended.

I'd be using dawn detergent solution for that with a thorough water rinse before the S-C, followed by a distilled water rinse and a cleaning machine suck-off drying.

Same here, then I use my Zerostat gun on the LP and play it. I use distilled water in my Spin Clean too and noticed if you have the water level up a bit from the fill line the black rollers spin more smoothly. Make sure you don't over fill and get the paper label in the water by doing this. I have a small Orek XL vacuum and cut two pieces of microfiber towel and super glued them on the 4" wide crevice adaptor. I have the glue line above where the microfiber towel touches the LP. I hand vacuum several times on each side with the LP laying flatt on a clean microfiber towel I purchased from the 3M (detail towels).http://www.shop3m.com/70071481397.html I used these on my old Corvette and noticed they cleaned my eye galsses great(dry) and did not scratch them.. I tried the Home Depot etc MF towels but these by far is a better product. A down side to these 3M towels is they are a bit expensive and you have to wash them by them selves and when you dry them do NOT use a dryer sheet with them. I wash a load of jeans and dry them withOUT a dryer sheet to clean out the dryer tub so my MF towels don't leave a flim on my eye glasses or my expensive camera lens. Hope this helps.

A quart sounds about right; maybe a little less. Think the instructions on the large bottle are 1 capful. I'd err on the thin side. Don't need too much fluid.
