Hello, It is obvious not to use the standard canned air blower. I have not read much on using CO2 air, such as Leland or American Recorder. I have used these products and they work fine. The gas contains no residue and is pure. I have used CO2 gas to blow off a lens, as well as a CCD. I can find very little on this subject here or elsewhere on forums. I wonder why? Have I just been lucky all this time?
