I have read that one problem with lifting prints from live skin is that the print is absorbed by the "hydrolipid" layer of the skin. Can someone please explain this process, and what time frame is involved before the print is irretreivable?
(Thank you to Mr. German for helpful information and links regarding my son's science fair project.)
