Deep Cleaning Records With Steam?

I'm using the 6" conical attachment with the 90 degree spout as demonstrated by Stltrains in his You Tube video. That arrangement works best for me. No splatters the last two go-rounds.

Ok...So far ... But what of the chemicals creating the "smell"? Those chemicals are being leeched than deposited in small quanities on the LP. Do as you like , in 3 or 5 years should you find a brittleness in the steamed LPs be forwarned. I have been doing this work for far longer than anyone elese. To expect the same results the steaming must be duplicated . Your email has convinced me that I must produce a DVD and put a short spot on You Tube. Don't expect it tomorrow but soon. Its not my responsibilty to accept anothers judgement that could have far reaching conequences to their LP collection. Do you think I haven't applied Steam Cleaning with a hose and understood the potential consequences years ago. Say what you will, I am always looking in the tall grass not only for elephants but the mice... I worry about the repercussions before I recommend. All the best.

If I'm not mistaken, Crem1, you use the 6" conical "spout" that is shown on the box, yes? So, the only difference between what you use and what I use is the 3" right angle attachment at the end of the spout?

Do I understand this correctly?

Crem as you can see i use the 90 degree attachment with perfection in conjunction with VPIs 16.5, i aim the steam spray right into the grooves in the direction that the stylus contacts the modulations in the vinyl. I experience no problems using perfection this way. And find i get a better cleaning job on my vinyl using this procedure.
Looking forward to your video.

I have pictures of my home built gem dandy / groovmaster combo if anyone is interested I can email you direct and you are free to use as you wish.
