Compressed air is good (but check the label and be sure no chemicals are coming 
out with the air - some have recommended a manual bulb-type air blower), and if 
needs be PEC-12 fluid applied sparingly with PEC pads.

Subject: filmscanners: Preparing to scan old slides


| I have several trays of 35mm slides that I want to scan.  Some of these 
| slides are still in the carousel where they were placed 25+ years ago. No 
| doubt there is dust.   Any advice on how to minimize the dust?  Use a vacuum 
| cleaner? Compressed air?  Thanks in advance.
