To blow canned air into tape transport area od DVX? I think I've got a couple of cat hairs in there. I ask because I've seen canned air leave residue before....Thanks.
 
A quick blow will be fine. Just don't have it blow in there too long because it might created moisture and that can be bad for the heads.
 
Not sure about residue but be careful that you don't spray the compressed liquid into the mechanism. That can occur when you have recently shaken the can or have it tilted or upside down. Oh, and the air can be extremely cold. An extreme temperature change might also cause a problem. So, make sure not too spray too close.

Oh, almost forgot, keep your cat out of the mechanism! :cheesy:
 
You're just going to blow the hairs around. If you can see them, get your self a pair of tweezers and pluck'em.
 
The compressed gas may contain hydrocarbons and/or hydro/fluor/chlorcarbons. These gases could be harmful to the components inside your camera! Thus, once you blow out any debris using this gas, I would keep the tape mechanism open for a few minutes just to allow the potentially harmful gas to escape.
