Meta-hobby! I've only been back into collecting for about 3 months. I have about 60 at the moment.
My washing method (3rd time I posted this today...I should probably just make it a post :) is as follows:
The technique:
Pan 1 has the water, tergikleen (just a few drops) and rubber washers. Pan 2 has clean water for rinsing
I fill pan 1 just deep enough to cover the rubber pads and the top of a record when placed in.
I then place in a record, submerge it, then take the paint pad and do a few laps in one direction, then a few in the other. The rubber pads allow you to wash the record right in the pan without hurting the underside of the record. It also prevents the LP from 'sticking' to the pan due to suction.
Flip the record over, repeat.
Give it a bath in the rinse water.
Dry with the towels.
Prop up on a shelf to finish air drying.
Works great.
I painted my stairwell this weekend and used this. http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B0001MQI9E. worked great.
Edit: I also used a 10 or 12 ft extension.
This tool helped a lot for edging in our house. We didn't even have to tape for it. Just kept a damp rag on hand for quickly wiping up mistakes.
It does need an actual hard edge to work well though. If your baseboards end in a soft curvy finish, you'll probably still want to tape them.
Hello!!! [This] (http://www.amazon.com/Shur-Line-500-Premium-Paint-Edger/dp/B0001MQI9E/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1369052429&sr=8-1&keywords=paint+corner) is the BEST thing I bought when I was painting. If you're going to do a lot of painting... I highly recommend!
Check your local dollar store for an edger tool.
That’s an amazon link for the purposes of showing you what it is but I got one for less than half the amazon price at Dollarama.
It was an instant game-changer for painting edges. Before, I would use the roller after my wife would start off with maybe half of the wall’s edges. With this thing, I could do the edges by myself and then roll as I went along. Seriously cannot recommend using one enough. It takes a bit of getting used to and you can make a real mess if you’re not careful but man, you can do edges so much faster with one of these.
These things are the bomb https://www.amazon.com/Shur-Line-2000863-Shur-line-00100-Paint/dp/B00002N8ZO/ref=sr_1_fkmrnull_1?keywords=shurline+edger+classic&qid=1555090843&s=gateway&sr=8-1-fkmrnull
This would be a handy add-on!
I loved this article. It was definitely bizarre and the picture is adorable. Somehow a baby anteater was born even though there was no male in the enclosure.
How bizarre
Have a great day!

An edger with extension pole?

Can you expand on what DIY cleaning method you use? I've been using the 3 parts distilled water to 1 part 99% isopropyl alcohol solution. I spray with a spray bottle and then clean the record with a corner painting brush (https://www.amazon.com/Shur-Line-2006651-Paint-Pad-9-Inch/dp/B00004Z4HE/ref=asc_df_B00004Z4HE/?tag=hyprod-20&linkCode=df0&hvadid=193152739170&hvpos=1o1&hvnetw=g&hvrand=9240006856022065285&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvqmt=&hvdev=c&hvdvcmdl=&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=9057137&hvtargid=pla-307352096346&psc=1) and let it dry. I still hear pops and clicks like crazy. The RCA Discwasher didn't really have much of an effect for me. Thinking about buying a Spin Clean but I'm not sure.
Yellow Frog tape is meant for delicate surfaces, like uncured paint. They still recommend a minimum of 24 hours before applying tape.
I've never used one, but I used to sell tons of these:

You'll still want to wait as long as possible for the first color to dry before running this tool up against it. If they work as well as people tell me you won't need tape.
Really, you get what you pay for, but in the end I'd still recommend doing it yourself. I feel that in this day and age we rely so heavily on others to do things for us (paid or unpaid) that we end up losing basic knowledge of simple things. I do home remodeling and handyman work for a living and though I'm getting paid to do the work, sometimes it just amazes me to get paid for doing some of the most simple of tasks. And when it come to painting, cutting lines, double (or more) coats and making sure you don't get paint on the floors is really the only issues. That can be solved by patience and careful planning. And personally, I use the edger plus to cut the lines. Follow the instructions and maybe do two coats, you'll be fine.
