Numerous techniques and procedures have been described utilizing cyanoacrylates - "CA" (Super Glue) for the fuming and development of latent prints.
Abstract
One of the most widespread methods used requires heat for acceleration of "CA" volatilization. This article presents an alternative method by making a CA - aluminum foil sandwich which takes advantage of aluminum's property of retarding cyanoacrylate auto-polymerization. Photographs. 3 references.
