eureka in the bathtub. If you cant submerge the lp past the end of the last track because of the label, then a tank 11.5 inches wide would fit LPs straight across because the LP wouldn't be measured at the center, but at the level only at the point where the label starts, which is less than 11.5 inches. So you can build a spindle that holds a bunch of records to clean all at once.
All this talk is amature. Stop playing Macgyver, big dude it up & buy a dedicated record cleaning machine.

Yeah, I think you could swing it, but it'd be a tight fit. Assuming a 12 inch diameter record with a 4 inch diameter label, the width of the record at the bottom of the label is 2 x sqrt(6^2 - 2^2) = 11.3".

but usually the music runs out a good 1/2 before the label starts.

2 x sqrt(6^2 - 2.5^2) = 10.9" you're made in the shade.
I use distilled water with a generous dash of this fine product here:
Vinyl records are made of PVC (Poly-Vinyl-Chloride) which is very resistant to most chemical substances (be very careful with Styrene, though!). Gas canisters and bottles that contain aggressive acids are made out of PVC. Digging in Africa, you're frequently confronted with the most extreme challenges when it comes to cleaning records. On rare occasions, I've been using Hydrochloric acid which will eat away any organic substance, be careful though, it eats paper and the fumes bleach labels if there is nor proper ventilation, the fumes also will eat your lungs! I really like lighter fluid for cleaning and use it very often. I would always recommend to wipe records with a paper towel soaked in distiled water as a last step to remove any potential residue from other cleaning substances that could clog up your stylus. Especially when using Elmer's Glue. There used to be some stuff called "the magic record film" that was sold in Europe up until a few years ago that works just like Elmer's Glue, unfortunately, it is not produced anymore.

Yes, replacements are easily available. I've changed mine 5-6 times. The replacements are 10-15 bucks.

I just purchased this, new in the box with 2 year waranty for $400. Now I must design the spindle to hold and turn the records.

I've constructed my tinkertoy hand-crank record turner; I have my distilled water; I have my Formula 409.
I'll let everyone know on Monday if it ruined all my records.
