I’ve had static on my records. I notice it when I lift the record off the matte and hear the static charge. Things I do to minimize it include wiping the matte lightly with distilled water. I also use a carbon brush from Bags Unlimited.
I do use a humidifier now that temps are dropping and the heat is on. I avoid paper sleeves and use MOFI inners.
The Zerostat did not work well for me either and I tried every procedure including holding it between my cheeks and walking slowly away from the TT while gently squeezing...
What worked really well (while I had it) was an anti-dust brush for negatives that I used in college (1970’s) when I was doing black&white negative developing in my kitchen. It may not be sold anymore because it had a small bit of radioactive material just above the bristles. I misplaced it and am still looking for it...
