How much Time do you spend?

Say salty, have you considered using compressed nitrogen for an air source? Since it is a dry gas, you don’t need a water trap. There is some expence at first, like an oxygen regulator that will need a nipple conversion to fit the bottle, and the rental on the bottle itself. I have the large bottle, and have been using the same one for about a year and a half with out having to exchange it.

I use Nitrogen from an airtank. I paid about $80 for the regulator and a full tank. I rent the tank from a welding supply shop for $9 plus about $13 to fill it a year. It may cost more from a diving shop. You want to lease the tank because they cannot refill a tank unless it is tested and certified first, and a test costs about $100.00. So they lease a tank to you and they take care of the testing. Kinda a good deal. A tank can last about a year or two depending on how much painting you do. You can also get just about any size of tank you want since Nitrogen is quite popular.
