Procedure of Application
Development Complete When
Ridge detail is developed upon a water rinse. Source of Error
The consistency of the reagent mixture should be as that of 'shaving cream with small bubbles'. Incompatibilities
Dark colored tapes should be processed using gray fingerprint powder in the reagent mixture instead of black fingerprint powder. Precautions
Practice getting the proper consistency of the reagent mixture prior to use in casework. Storage Container
The reagent is mixed fresh with each new application. Safety
Avoid getting any reagent into your eyes. Recommendations
It may be helpful to grind the dried reagent mixture in a mortar before adding water. Similar Reagent

Accepted Deviations:
The reagent mixture can be prepared, then allowed to dried to produce a residue. This dried residue can be reconstituted by the addition of tap water until the desired consistency is obtained. Ash Gray fingerprint powder can be used in place of black fingerprint powder to develop ridge detail on black electrical tapes.
