Re: dust in my SS4000

["John" <jackg@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Good Morning,

I have the SS4000 and  I keep it encased in a plastic bag when not using it.

I had a friend rig up a regulator on a large CO2 bottle like they use with
carbonated drinks, just have it exchanged at the Coke bottling company when
it runs out.

Regards,

John in Okc

| I took your advice. $80 for the whole package: tank, regulator, hose,
| nozzle. The air is dry and the air stream is very powerful.

| If you buy the tanks on ebay, make sure they have the proper stickers on
| them, otherwise you will have to pay for inspections before the shop will
| fill the tank.
