Air compressor size

[LeftyHoges]

Just a quick question for those using air compressors to blow grips on and off.

What size is required to do so? Do you need a large heavy duty one or would a smaller one do the job?

Thanks

I think a small compressor would work fine, if it can put out around 30-40 psi. I use my father's industrial compressor regulated to 30 psi and that works just fine.

I use a small 3 gallon tank and pressure to the gun at 80 psi. Anything else is to little pressure for a lot of grips.

yea the sharpros i needed atleast 65 psi to get them to slide easy

On a side note, What kind of nozzle tip are ya'll using?

[MIKE1218]

I only use tour velvets, and 30 psi seems to work for them. I'm sure some grips need more though.

Thanks for the replies guys. I suppose I'll get something at about 80 Psi just to be on the safe side. Cheers all

Thanks Clemson but I'm in Oz and we don't have Craftsman here. But I know at least not to pay much more than $100 now anyway so thanks.
