Record Washer Recipes

[Stratmangler]

Anyone got any favourite homebrew RCM fluid recipes?
I had a quick look in the knowledge base, but failed to spot any...

I use a "1 + 4" mix of >99% Isopropanol (= Isopropyl Alcohol, IPA, Propan-2-ol, C3H8O etc) to distilled water (eg 100ml Isopropanol in a 500ml bottle topped up with distilled water). I add a couple of dozen drops of Kodak Photoflow wetting agent to reduce surface tension and help the fluid get into the grooves.

I use a 3ml pipette to apply the fluid to the record surface - about 2 - 2.5ml per side is optimal.
