Yes you can use regular powder. Flourescent seems to work better. You then should photograph the print if possible. Most importantly Sirchie makes a silicone based casting kit that works well. It is model PVS-100. Its the best I have seen in lifting these type prints. Also works great on rough surfaces such as dash boards and gun boxes.

If the perpetrator was painting a house white, got wet paint on his/her hands which was still wet when he/she handled the brick while committing the crime, why sure, there may be pretty good fingerprints on that brick!

Can prints be lifted from a large smooth rock (used to break the window) that was involved in a fire?

I have had some sucess getting partial latent prints from a brick with the use of flourescent orange powder and feather duster and veiwing it with an alternate light source.

Hello, in my Criminalistics class we were givin an assignment on lifting latent prints from a brick. Is it possible? If so, what chemical should be used and how do you apply it to get a good lift.
