This originally Japanese product is used for developing fingerprints on the adhesive side of tapes, labels, etc. The powder and a detergent (Kodak Photoflo) are mixed to a thin paste, which is applied to the adhesive with a brush. Ten to fifteen seconds after application, the excess powder is rinsed off under running tap water. Sticky-side powder combines good results with the absence of hazardous substances.

Research comparing this powder with Gentian Violet showed that each can sometimes develop additional prints after the other has been used. Sticky-side powder can be supplied as a kit, but the components can also be supplied separately.
