I had a similar experience Jon. Wet cleaning seemed to reduce static and dust built up.

Somewhere along the line I believe Milty stopped including good instructions with the gun. The design may have also changed making it less effective. IME my old red Milty absolutely does work, but it's not the first line of defense against static. I still use mine regularly but not every day.

My mate has the red one and he let me borrow it this week. I tried mine first on a new record and it didn't make any difference, then I tried my mates one and there was a big improvement, but static was still there. It does make me wonder if mine was working properly in the first place.

The way I use it is to hold the record well away from the turntable and the gun about 8-12 inches from the record. Then I slowly pull the trigger in a 3 step triangle pattern. Usually all of the static charge is easily removed this way. You can test it with a Styrofoam packing peanut and holding the record vertically. If the record is charged the peanut will stick. If not it will fall to the ground.

Thanks David. I agree about doing this well away from the turntable or other grounded equipment. That is a very good tip about testing the process on styrofoam, thank you.
