I suppose you could look into one of those "portable air" systems out

available,too.Refill them wherever paintball refills are offered.
there are inexpensive air accessory kits available that include a coiled
hose,nozzle,quik-connects,tire inflators.

I have 2 of these (office and home):

It's fairly minimal, but works well enough if you give it time to
build up the pressure. Spraying hot solder all over the office is
generally a bad idea, so I do it outside. I also use it to clean out
the dirt and dust from various electronic devices. It's small and
portable, so carrying it outside is easy.

I use a standard "safety" blow gun with a conical tip. I suspect I
could do better with a customized blow gun tip, such as using a
baskeball filler adapter with the end ground off, but haven't bothered
to try.

These were on sale last Christmas for $75 so I bought two.
