Hi All - avoid automotive/commercial air compressors as the air is oiled - water & stuff in there too. Air for Paint guns is a better alternative, but you still have the electro-static discharge problem (air stream acts as wire). IT Vacuums are often reversible to either vacuum or blow air. Shop-vacs too, if you're in a hurry... no endorsements made, just an example: http://www.exair.com/en-US/Primary%20Navigation/Products/Accessories/Pages/Oil%20Removal%20Filters.aspx toothbrush anyone? ;) On Mon, Oct 21, 2013 at 3:59 PM, Dazed_75 wrote: > Thats why I have ALWAYS used compressed air and never had a problem.
