RE Air Duster sprays from Poundland, warning on can about keeping clear of flame and ejecting some spray away from object. There was talk of some of the cheaper sprays using something like Butane. Asda do a decent line in Air Dusters. And I didn't see any warnings on tin.
If you have a RS local ,you can always order on line and collect next day. Problem is that for some items it's a minimum order of 1 pack .( e.g. I needed some 15A car fuses and a 5A 20mm fuse). Had to buy two packs of 10. Still a lot cheaper for the fuses than local car places .
