FAQs
Can I use this kit on porous surfaces?
This kit is primarily designed for non-porous surfaces like glass, plastic, or finished metal.
Are the backing cards acid-free?
Yes, the backing cards are designed for long-term evidence preservation and documentation.
How long will the 2 ounces of powder last?
Longevity depends on use frequency, but a small amount goes a long way when using the soft-touch brush technique.
Is the lifting tape removable after applying?
The tape is intended to be a permanent record once applied to the backing card; it is not meant to be peeled off once adhered.
Can I buy replacement powder?
Yes, standard latent powders of the same base formulation are generally compatible with this kit.
Is this kit suitable for children?
This kit contains fine powders and is intended for adult use in professional, educational, or training contexts.
Troubleshooting
Powder is clumping on the surface.
Reduce the amount of powder picked up by the brush and use lighter strokes.
Print is being lifted but is faint or blurry.
Ensure you are using even, steady pressure when applying the lifting tape and avoid air bubbles during the transfer.
Brush hairs are shedding.
Ensure the brush is stored in its protective slot and not crushed by other items in the case.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To set up your kit, ensure all components are neatly arranged within the custom molded slots in the black plastic case. When using the kit, avoid applying excessive pressure with the fiberglass brush, as this can degrade the detail of the fingerprint. After each use, tap off excess powder from the brush and store it inside the case to prevent cross-contamination. Keep the lifting tape in a clean, dust-free environment to maintain its adhesive integrity. Regularly inspect the backing cards to ensure they are kept in a dry environment to prevent the card stock from warping or absorbing ambient moisture.
