Compressed Air For Computer Cleaning

[hbert]

I have been looking around for compressed air in spray can format but not been able to find.

Does anybody know if some shop have it here in Pattaya?

A few times I've been able to pick it up at Amorn, the basement shop at Tukcom. However it's been years since I saw it there last and eventually I got tired of looking around for compressed air.

So I went to Lotus and picked up a small electric blower instead. Granted the spray isn't as concentrated or strong as a can of compressed air. However for cleaning my desktop computer I've been quite satisfied with it.

Even saw them on sale right now at Lotus for 275 Baht.

That's a good idea. Maybe you could fashion some sort of nozzle to fit on the end to concentrate the air stream? I'll probably pop over to Lotus this afternoon - where are they in the store, with the DIY/tools, or in the electrical goods section?

I would think twice before doing that, It will give you the desired effect for a short time but will cause the motor to overheat and burn out due to lack of air flow being drawn into the motor. I know as it happened to me.

I have already tried the basement Tukcom shop but could not find.

The blower was a good idea if canned air can not be found.

Thanks for the tip....

Powerbuy in tukom sell it, walk into the store and straight to the shelving on the left back wall, bottom shelf on the right you will find it, dam_n expensive though....

Thank's Spoonman,

I will have a look again. I missed it last time I looked....

At Lotus South Pattaya, as you walk in the north entrance pass the toys and bicycles, they will be on display in this main isle on the right hand side, at the tools section.

Back in the UK I had a friend who restored antique ceramics and he used to run his small `deville bis` spray gun from the air in a spare wheel from an old car , worked very well , maybe you could try something like that I should imagine it would be very cheap.
