I've never seen that before. I'm sure if you email Nick he'd be more than happy to offer suggestions. Off hand you could try just running the vacuum over the pad in case it's dust or some kind of packing debris.
I did notice that when I first started, but I think it was because I was applying to much pressure rotating the turntable. Once I eased off and let the vacuum do all the work, the turning of record didn't leave any marks or residue.
Just a thought but it might also be from not getting all the cleaning fluid off and then flipping over the record. This might leave a bit of residue on the underlay which gets transfered onto the next record.
I reached out to Nick so I'm curious to see what he suggests. The pad is a little sticky to the touch, like when I press my hand on it and lift up it sticks to my hand for a bit before falling off, so I'm thinking that's why? It's kind of sticking to the record? It left the marks before I even started cleaning it. I just put the record on there to make sure I knew how to set everything up and noticed it right away.
I appreciate both of providing your feedback, thanks! I'll try not pressing down so hard and see what Nick suggests. I may try to clean the pad too since he says in the video it can be washed. I'll report back when I figure things out.
