WC>-> I don't know abput Artifiucal Drying. Seems to me the Smart Move would
WC>-> be "Air Movement" Drying in a controled Temperature and Humidity
WC>-> enviroment.. Like an Air Conditioned room.

WC>Makes since to me however in that case I'd make the last rince distilled
WC>water as contaminants would coincentrate on drying borders.

O YES, the distiled water, REAL sdistilled not the supermarket
equilivent De-Ionized water,is necessart for those with a valualble
collection. That De-Ionized, Distilled Equilivent according to hte
label, still has a small of minerals in it that would be left after the
Drying.


WC>BTW I used to copy my vinyl LP onto reel top reel tape  playing them
WC>through once than returned the LP's to their sleeves.

That was a popular thing to do for real collector items. Some nowdays
rip them to Wave files and burn a CD for playing. And for the real
purist in a magazine recently I saw an Blip on a $15,000 Laser Beam
turntable. NOTHING except the Laser touches the Recorded Grouve.  :-)
