Or all three.       c) Are you using a refillable can of actual compressed air, or are you using a       material such as "Duster (CRC) or similar?        1. If the former, are you refilling through a filter and moisture trap?       Otherwise, what is coming out of that can could have all sorts of nasty       contaminants. "Dry compressed air" - as you state.        2. If the latter, that is not hardly 'compressed air' but a (supposedly       ozone safe) refrigerant analog using fluorine rather than chlorine.              I use 99% IPA (not the ale), also pressurize in a refillable can, as I see the       point being to rinse out the developed skunge. Then a lubricating material to       replace what was lost in the cleaning.              Peter Wieck       Melrose Park, PA              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
