Has anyone ever tried these to protect the labels when wet cleaning your LP's?
Are there any other manufacturers that produce these protectors?
Hopefully a Clearaudio Double Matrix is heading to our house.
It's going to replace my VPI 16.5 and am just curious if anyone has tried these?
I have a couple of concerns.
1. Will the adhesive do any damage to the label over time?
2. Will it have a good enough seal as to not allow any water to get under the label?
3. Would the label protector need to be a tad larger, than the label itself, to provide a seal the the vinyl itself keeping the fluid from reaching the label?
4. If it is a tad larger than the lable does it affect anything in the runout groove?
Would be nice if it were to work as it'd be a once and done.

That Clearaudio Double Matrix is pretty hard core!
I haven't used any of the stick on label protectors. Haven't seen the need to while having cleared a couple thousand LPs over the years. The clamp style label protectors seem to make more sense. There is an industry standard label size for LPs but there may be a very minor millimeter size variation depending on the plant.
This one?

It's not the Pro Sonic cleaner it's the Double Matrix Pro without the sonic feature. They do look the same.
Mine is the black version.

I like it in black. -
I think the one coming is the earlier version of the double matrix snd not the newer pro version.
