I used a rubber tube to blow on various components in the HV area.

OK, I'm assuming you've found a way to heat the air first. I'm interested
in this setup - could you elaborate?

In this case, it wasn't a matter of heat. It turned out that simply air flow
made the difference since this occurred immediately after power on before anything
had a chance to heat up.

If I had to provide heat, a blow dryer would have been my tool of
choice
