How do you guys dust this figure (if you don't display in sealed case)?

I bought a can of compressed air from an office supply shop the other day but when he demonstrated it for me he pointed out that it leaves a wet looking residue which dries up. I'm wondering if this could be harmful to the rubber of this figure and others generally for that matter. Is a wet residue normal when using compressed air?

 

[Unclechopchop]

Has anybodies suit started to deteriorate yet?

 

[Remy]

Nope. Looks as good as day 1.

It depends, if you spray the can quite a bit tilted it spits out the liquid. If you spray it upright, it never shoots anything out but air. Always spray up right and one skoosh to make sure nothing comes out after it's been sitting for a while.

That liquid you see is just the compressed air. Hence the longer you spray the more the can gets colder and starts the frost up at the bottom of the can the longer you use it. It's not harmful but don't be careless for the sake of it.

They are simple asphyxiants (since they displace the oxygen you should be breathing, in a closed space you could become oxygen-deprived). Both solvents are considered "ozone-friendly," that is they do not deplete ozone like the older chlorofluorocarbons.

The reason for the 'liquid' is because straight compressed air products would have their own set of problems. An aerosol dispenser of compressed air would probably be at a much higher internal pressure in order to contain a reasonable amount of "product." The two fluoroethanes mentioned above are liquid under relatively modest pressure, and only become gaseous as you depress the spray tip and allow product to escape. You can even get some of the liquid solvent to spray out if you invert the can and press the spray tip (as you mentioned).

Another issue with straight compressed air is it would tend to be a bit corrosive unless all the moisture were removed when the aerosol can got filled. Compressed air usually gets a bit of oil contamination (picked up from compressor components) and would need to be carefully filtered, or it would just grease up whatever you tried to dust off.

Yeah, I've tried compressed air for this exact purpose (cleaning action figures) and it was a turn off for me. Being the idiot I am, I expected just air to come out. No matter which way I'd hold it a little bit of liquid or noticeable mist would always come out so I figured it was a type of chemical to get the air to come out.

I don't know, probably did it wrong. Don't like, don't use it.

Thanks guys. I haven't tried it yet. I'll use something less valuable as a guinea pig first. Just...dust on rubber...its a bugger. Funny thing is the leaky DX Batman doesn't seem to attract dust at all despite being no less exposed. Whats with that?

 

[dominishin]

I have mine posed in the "closed cape" look... so not much dust ever gets on him... if any.

 

[Skiman]

Dev, lint brush as well.

The suit is painted. Remember the first batch with the paint peeling off the rubber as people handled it?

I just acquired a Dark Knight Batman from a smoker for $2.
The suit needs to be cleaned. How would you guys go about cleaning the rubber suit without ruining it?
Would anyone know of a place to get replacement parts (gauntlets, hand pegs, hands and batarangs) from?

Thanks in advance

I absolutely love compressed air for dusting my figures.

It's "clean" and "safe". Makes my life much easier.
