I don't know if you really need a compressor to do this... perhaps one of
those rubber squeeze bulbs would be sufficient. I sometimes do this with the
'canned air' sold for computer dust removal, but that could get costly if
you use a lot as its about $3 per can. If you use a compressor, watch out
for oil and moisture in the compressed air, you will need a moisture trap
and I'd look for an 'oilless' compressor. Also, I don't suppose you need
more than about 10psi for this, so you'll want a regulator you can turn down
a lot lower than the air tools setting.
