DIY CSI - Lift fingerprints with Super Glue

Filed Under: backyard science


I like to think I'd make a pretty good Crime Scene investigator, but with most of my knowledge coming from crime dramas, I suspect that I'm not actually equipped for the job. If you want to try out some of these investigative skills without actually gaining access to a crime lab or one of their fancy and fully loaded tool kits, then check out this fingerprint lifting tutorial.

The video shows us how to professionally lift fingerprints. Here's what you'll need for the experiment:
  1. Superglue
  2. Light bulb
  3. Aluminum foil
  4. Cardboard box
  5. Sticky tape
Executing this experiment isn't simple, but it yields professional quality results. If you've got a suspect item with fingerprints on it, gather the rest of your materials, follow the details in this video tutorial and get started on your investigation.
