I use camel hair brushes not nylon as my projector head gets quite warm. (7000 kw lamp) I do use compressed air as my projector head runs off compressed air, I don't see the harm and I use a clean dry rag. I clean after every show. Have to. My booth is beginning to resemble a "clean room". We mop floors twice a day. dust platters and equipment twice a day and have sticky mats at entrance. BTW I have an elevator directly to my booth and a 35000$ HVAC that keeps humidity at 55% and temp 73degrees 24 hours a day. We even graph our climate controls.  |  IP: Logged
