> I see a lot of compressors on ebay - do you > know how to tell which are oil-less?
Generally, if it's a piston compressor, oil is required, although I recently purchased at portable compressor to run construction tools that uses Teflon piston rings and is oiless. Diaphragm compressors are oiless. Buying at auction you'd probably have to ask. That said, any air compressor with a tank will eventually collect condensation in the tank. This water can eventually get blown out along with the air. You either need to be scrupulous about draining the tank or put a separator on the outlet. Probably both. US equivalent of Blu-Tack would be Duco's Stik-Tack, aka the product photographer's friend. Find it in with the art supplies or stationery. There's some a white version by Borden that I tried once that stuck to absolutely nothing.
