[SEL] Oil bath air filter help needed

[John Hall]

Try McMaster-Carr www.Mcmaster.com
Search for steel mesh. Some of our equipment at work uses a metal mesh air 
filter---sort of like the stainless steel kitchen scrubbing pads. I would be 
concerned about getting too much filtration and causing the air flow to be 
resticted. If the debris is just what the mice ate yesterday, maybe soaking 
for a few days in a strong cleaning solution would dissolve it?
