Sometimes even the wise just flat don't know.  Try squirting it with some 
Marvel Mystery Oil.  At least the stuff smells nice, and who knows what the 
mystery is?  I've used it for years in air tools, but I wouldn't recommend it 
when blowing dust off film.

Oops, I seem to have drifted over into another thread.  I keep having visions 
of how quickly and how far 120 psi would blow a slide right out of the mount.

Bottom line here: I, apparently like everybody else here, don't have a clue.  
You're on your own.  You might let us know what you do and what happens, though.
