Good place to park the air gun when working.

I get lots of dirty archival material to work with on the copy stand, sheet fed scanner, cine' and slide scanning, etc. I use compressed air to help clean things, along with other cleaning methods. The compressed air was a gigantic breakthrough once I started to use it years ago. Before that it was a rocket hand blower. I don't have a permanent place to work; it is all temporary setups. A wood clamp gives me a place to park the air gun...temporarily. I still use the rocket blower for delicate jobs like lens cleaning. I don't want to blow dust inside the lens. But for 95% of the work, it is the air gun. Don't forget to drain the compressor once in a while. I do it weekly. In the humid Rustbelt we got lots of moisture in the air. That was a benefit from living in L.A., we had dry air.

PS...compressed air in the darkroom is fantastic. Don't do darkroom work anymore but used to have one back in the day.

I use one of these, new battery powered model, surprisingly powerful.
