Best Answer

Any fine grained powder will do the job, flour, talc, etc.

The real test of its effectiveness, its the ability to lift the prints afterwards that matters and that sometimes takes a little practice. Check around your home, to see what you can use, by experimenting.

The difference between a good CSI and a great one, comes down to their ability to improvise.
