I use Blue Tac at the recommendation of Peter Lederman. Referring to any oily residue he stated that it is minute and might even be helpful but would quickly burn off given the extreme temperatures present. I place a small dollop of Blue Tac on a quarter and flatten it to dime size and thickness. I place the quarter on the platter and drop the stylus on the Blue Tac 3 times using the cueing lever. I do this every side. I also wipe the platter with a microfiber cloth every side. I keep the quarter on the plinth covered with the nice plastic cover from my long since discarded Zerodust. I've been doing this for years. It's dirt cheap and works great.
