PSA: I was totally wrong about using compressed air on shutter mechanisms
I was cleaning a Canon AE-1 for a friend last weekend and was about to blast the shutter curtain when another repairer at the local shop in Tacoma said, 'That'll just push the grit deeper into the bearings.' He showed me how to use a soft brush and a drop of lighter fluid on a swab instead. Has anyone else had a shutter fail after using canned air?

My buddy's Leica shutter locked up right after he used air, @webb.christopher.
