Has anyone ever used a material known as AccuTrans® Auto Mix from Ultronics, Inc.? It is apparently a clear silicone material that is applied to a powdered print in the same manner that mikrosil would be used. I found one article in Forensic Magazine that describes the method, but don't know anyone who has actually used it. I am interested to see what others results might be. Please share your results!

While I have not used that particular brand of silicone I have used the silicone chaulk that is used around tubs and windows. Both of them worked but the problem that I found with them is that it took a long time for them to dry. I have also used hot glue to lift powder prints.
