Yeah. I used to do this a lot and the records are fine. I think if you leave them without playing though you might notice mineral deposits.

I always struggle with brushes (carbon fibre and velvet) - always seems like I’m just adding more static which then attracts more dust almost immediately. Not sure what I’m doing wrong

yup - happens to me too. always adds static. sometimes it doesn’t if i touch the brush to the spindle after, but largely yeah - STATIC! still, its much better than having loads of dust and not brushing. I just brush it while its spinning a few times, then play. its only after i take the LP off that the dust swarms to it

I don’t have this problem using a velvet anti-static brush. I think the key is to use it very, very lightly so it is just barely touching the vinyl as it revolves.

I’ve got one of these but yeah, you really need to put aside a day to get a load done in one go because it’s a very time-consuming process. Although a very satisfying one!

I guess the real key here could be don’t destroy vinyl with cheap Crosley turntables.
