Although on the other hand it might last long because the pressures are much less than in refrigeration.

Brilliant idea though, and thanks for sharing.


BTW How is it when you airbrush with it? Any problems?

Thanks! No, I've quite literally had absolutely zero problems with it - reliability or useability-wise. With the tank and the regulator the air delivery is smooth and consistent and all the filters I have mean that it's clean and dry too. Your other point is valid - it has probably been losing a little oil over time but a) it's possible to source a new one for free or almost free and b) it's probably possible to add oil to it through one of the pipes (I remember seeing schematics once and that's what I thought at the time).
