Can I Degauss my vinyl ?

Nope static and magnetism are different animals and BOTH can be removed from Lps.
The whole magnetic thing has been discussed and you would have to Google it as i am not going to go there, except to say that some intelligent audio folks swear by it.

So, I still do not know if anyone in vinyl land is trying the
degausser. There are no directions so am unsure about the best method to use this device. I do use the zerostat for static but as Elizabeth said that is a horse of a different color. I think you need to do both sides.

Blue Skies, there has been at least one good, informative thread on this issue. You may be able to find it by doing a search here. The sum and substance of it was that those who degauss mostly think they can hear a difference. Those who use very expensive degaussers are happy. Others who use cheap ones are also happy. There was one post with very good instructions on how to use an inexpensive handheld degausser to good effect. You have to be careful, because those devices can magnetize as well as demagnetize. They only demag when used correctly. At least one of the expensive ones dedicated to LP use is programmed to avoid the undesired result. That's why you pay the big bucks. (Cannot recall the brand name.)

As for me, although I am a determined and aggressive foe of static electricity, I prefer not to enter the weird wild world of "magnetic" LPs.

Lewm: The way a degausser will magnetize is to turn it on, or off in close proximity to the item to be 'degaussed'.
The way to use any cheap degausser is to turn it on AWAY from the item to be degaussed. Then bring the degaussing coil or device up to the item and wave it around in smooth stokes and the slide it away smoothly. Once it is away from the item, then you can turn it off.
The item can be move up to the stationary degausser tool in the same manner if that is easier.
The specially made devices for degaussing Lps must have some method to prevent the problem, or the thing has to be turned on before the Lp is placed on it and after the Lp is removed...

Elizabeth, Thanks, but I was not asking for instructions. I was merely pointing out to the OP that he or she needs to know how to use an off the shelf degausser, properly. The product I was trying to think of is the Furutech, where it looks like a waffle-maker, and you simply insert the LP, close the jaws around it, and press a button. That device gradually increases and decreases the field intensity so as to mimic the act of moving a handheld degausser to and from the LP surface, for $2,700!!!
