I inert gas fill my SBig whenever I need to clean it.

I recharge the dessicant in the oven, clean the sensor and reassemble the camera, pull the dummy plug out and squirt in the "Air in a can" duster via a drinking straw ( I lost the little straw ages ago) a few times to dry out the air in the camera. The cans are filled with a fluorocarbon which is essentially inert. Then simply change back in the dessicant. This works really well and you can start using the camera pretty much straight away.

Of course I could take it to work and use the UHP argon as well, but the air duster works.

Cheers
Stuart
