I am a post graduate student from the UK doing research for Strathclyde Police on various techniques. At present I am attempting to reoves different types of tape from surfaces such as wood, paper, steel with the adhesive side intact. I've had some success with a product from the States called Un do and will be trying liquid nitogen later this week. Does anyome else have any other suggestion or techniwues that they may be able to help with. Any help given will be very much appreiciated. Do get in touch asap.

I've done some work into the lifting of latent prints from latex gloves and I've had success on almost everytime. If anyone need more info on this do get in touch.
