Anyone know a spray can that can be refilled with a compressor?

[Byte]

I love using those air dusters, but i use them too fast, and they are too expensive. I have a compressor, but it's HUGE and noisy, what kind of cans can i use as air dusters and can be refilled with my compressor?

You can get special cans you can fill from a compressor, but I don't know that you'd wand to spray air out of a basic compressor into your computer.

You need some good water/oil traps in that compressor.

Nice link, Amish.
Old freon cans work great, the 15 pound ones. Plumb them up so you can use a regular air fitting, then make a double ended one to fill it from the compressor. They hold enough air to fill a flat.

It's the same damn air that the machine is immersed in 24 hours a day, it's just moving faster.

When you compress air you will get a large amount of water that can condence as soon as you start spraying. You must have a water/air seperator minimum.

And many compressors are lubricated through oil in the tank or oil from the compressor head leaks into the tank.

I've never had a problem at 80 PSI. Seriously, it's air and water. Neither of which will damage a PC that's not running.
