    Duhhh, me! For some reason I thought of those pencil type blasters
    that are quite similar to modelers' airbrushes. I had a blaster like
    that and used the 'canned air' with reasonable, if slow, results. I
    have the 336-247 (and I'm not particularly thrilled with it) as
    mentioned and it does indeed require a larger compressor (which, yes
    I have a decent one but the tool really isn't meant for production,
    hence my lack of thrills). 

    On any compressor system though, a nice addition is an inline
    water/oil separator. That tiny nozzle can get clogged if there is
    any water vapor in the air supply.
