Trace metal detection test

Has anyone used TMDT recently? Does anyone have information on the formula for TMDT?

Since the TMDT goes back to the 1970's this may be difficult for some to remember but this test was for trace metal left behind on a persons hands or in a persons pockets or clothing while they were handling a weapon with metal portions that touched the skin or clothing. It was introduced at the Milwaukee, Wi. IAI conference in the early 1970's and I am trying to find the formula to possibly use in a case. I need some help.........

I don't know about a 'recipe' per se, but Sirchie and I believe a few other companies sell a premade TMDT kit with the chemicals premeasured and ready to mix. Since this is a rare thing to use, that is what we have here.
