http://www.mcmelectronics.com/product/20-3000&CAWELAID=220229474 Using a can of compressed air upside down can actually damage electronic components, depending on the chemicals contained in the can. Legitimate freeze sprays are designed specifically for electronics troubleshooting and will not damage the plastics, composites, or cause corrosion/oxidation. Jonathan L.
