    My solution for that problem was to take a Solo cup (to hold the glove/boot open) and aim a simple desk fan into the openings. I do like your solution though. One question, is the blower's motor brushless?

    Thanks for the idea Muleburrow, I am going to give it a try. I have an old fan like this off a old oil burning stove.

    It the motor is not brushless (or explosion proof) it can produce ozone through electric arcing. Ozone is bad news for polymers like neoprene and nylon.
