Rather than put my forthcoming Sequel IIs through the wash and rinse cycle in the shower, I am considering trying...compressed air.
No, I'm not talking about a 120 psi blast that would put holes through twelve inches of solid concrete (or mylar diaphragms for that matter), but just a bit more than what a typical good vacuum cleaner would put out. I have a decent sized compressor in the garage that has a filter for the air (to keep oil/moisture out of the air stream), and can dial the pressure way down.
I'm thinking it might be more effective than a vacuum cleaner. The best one we have in the house is a Riccar, which out-sucks even the industrial shop vac we have in the garage. I have not yet seen or heard the panels (I bought them in a remote state, and a friend is storing them for now), but at the price I paid, even if the dusting and/or washing won't work, I'm only out a couple hundred bucks, and can wait to replace the panels. They're going to be one of my DIY projects in the coming months.
Has anyone tried compressed air on panels before?
