Re: What kind of compressed air?

I haven't tried it yet, but I suspect the oil-less air compressors used for airbrushes would be ideal.
A) They only put out about 30psi
B) No oil contamination/vapor (oil-less motor)
C) Very quiet
D) Reasonably priced. (~$100)
E) Very, very compact. Fits in a shoebox (or large eyepiece case)
As long as you install a good water filter there should be no issues at all that I can see. Airbrushes are notoriously sensitive to anything foreign in the air supply, I know mine is. With my airbrush costing $200 the air compressor must be perfect.
Anyway, I'll fire it up sometime and try it out on a piece of glass. I'll let you know.
