    If it's leaving moisture I'd suggest that you're spraying too close, or the spray is bad. Don't use tissue that's for sure, you'll end up with particles all over the place, and they'll clog things as bad as dust does.

    What I use most times is just paint brushes. If you get a few different ones(varying thickness and lengths) you can clean pretty much any part of your rig.

    make sure you spray from far enough away and keep the canister upright.

    That's what I use - good tip.

    same here used to use dust off but occasionally you get a shot of liquid air go through the nozzle so started using fine bristle artists brushes they work great just don't use cheap heavy bristle ones

    and harry1 hoover is not the best idea in a pc they give off a lot of static energy when they are switched on
