Magenta Paints!
Hi Blarney,
Now don't build your hopes up but I used to use Gentian Violet and Malachites green and I'm sure I had Magenta red as well?
I used them in the late 1970's for recovering fingerprints from adhesive tape etc.
They were all taken off the Chemist's shelves as Felicity has mentioned as a potential carcinogenic.
Is Magenta paint back?
It did have an anaesthetic effect when you spilt a couple of drops on your finger.
The acetone was enough to put anyone to sleep I expect?
I assume you have checked for safety here in the UK.?
This maybe a wild goose chase because I haven't dealt with this firm in years but worth a try if you are desperate!
