discussion Pesky dust and blowing it away

[BattleshipBob]

Despite my best efforts, dust and tiny hairs usually make a appearance and always after painting!

Can you get a airblowing gun, like the ones I used on trucks to blow dust etc off components etc. Or can a airbrush produce enough air pressure to blow the stuff off??

I would think so Bob, other than that, remove the gun and use the hose, that will blow any dust away.

The little cordless Dspiae vac can also be used as a blower, you fit a small nozzle /tube /hose (included) to the rear exhaust vent and it acts as a nice blower to clear dust, etc. See previous vid I did here....

Vids only 10 mins long and if you go to the 3min mark I discuss the air blower function.

Ta very much, being a Dspiae stalker I have one. I'll give it a go!

A junk or broken airbrush should make a decent blower, I use one that came free with my first compressor.
You may need to crank the pressure up.

Thanks Andy, noticed you can also get battery powered hand held ones, about a tenner?

Something like that might work, but I'm not sure how much puff they have.

 

[BattleshipBob]

This is a typical one Andy

Certainly looks the part Bob but I've no idea how they perform.
