Using a solder paste dispenser with compressed air tanks

Nickjohnson from Arachnid Labs shares that he successfully hooked up his solder paste dispenser to a CO2 tank!”

One thing that’s dissuaded me from buying a solder paste dispenser for so long is that I’m really not keen on a loud and bulky compressor in my workshop area, and I don’t want to spend several times the cost of the dispenser on a small and/or quiet compressor. I’d considered using an airbrush compressor, since they tend to be both quiet and small, but there was scant information on whether or not the smaller working pressure of such a compressor – typically 3 to 4 bar – would be sufficient for solder paste dispensing.
