air cans?

[thegig]

Just wondering about the use of air cans (compressed gas ala the type used to clean computer keyboards, etc.) to clean and dust off screenprints. I bought a can but haven't used it yet. It is non-flammable and "moisture free" and uses some kind of gas (tetrafluorid.........). Any help?

be very careful and keep the can upright
those things can shoot a bit of liquid as well

Just wipe it off with a soft towel or duster. I don't see the need to get all high tech.

I would stay away from those propelent type products. At work we use wide japanese brushes made from some type of natural fiber. It's super soft, nonabrasive and just the thing to gently sweep off a little dust. I'll try to find out where we get them. Probably some high end art supply store.

Make-up brushes made from animal hair work great for removing dust, etc. I got an inexpensive set off of E-Bay.

I use a feather duster...very lightly.


Seriously.
