Default Re: Using Canned Air For Removing Dust

The canned air, I assume, is aerosol propellant not actual air. So I'd be a bit concerned about what it is and where it comes from.

I have a compressor in the garage and the receiver (no, not that sort!) remains at about 150psi so I don't need to run it up to blow a bit of dust off anything. It really comes into its own for clearing sawdust out of the planer, router, etc.

But for things like rusty radio chassis, then a compressor also gives you the bead blasting gun option.

There isn't really enough utility in doing radio stuff to justify one, but if you already have one, or come across one for a low enough price, then it opens a whole new world.
