UV Identifier Shells - Upcoming video
Added 2019-04-29 21:53:25 +0000 UTCI got these last year and haven't filmed them yet. I'm really not looking forward to the mess it will make. One thing I didn't know what what applications one would use these for. I can only think of a couple, so I am asking you guys if you have any ideas. The stuff is a BIG mess, even though it is invisible under normal light.

The idea stemmed from a disagreement on a paint color for the living room. Fine, we're going with your color....then tape a stencil on the wall "This color sucks", then blast it with the UV shell.

2019-04-30 18:55:58 +0000 UTCI'm going to +1 the notion of OG wearing a bunny suit and setting it off. Also these are perfect for wild game identification, even if the "wild game" is a perp in a mob scene an invader in your house, a deer trail, hog family multiplication and breed tracking.

2019-04-30 14:36:19 +0000 UTCI think the problem with washing it off is the whole point of the powder. Used as an indicator, a perp entering where he shouldn't, or handling what he shouldn't, and then being covered with this stuff, wouldn't be able to wash it off - it's a long-lived indicator of the person who got tagged. It would be useless if it washed off - except as a curiosity. Let's hope the cops don't pick you up before it wears off!

2019-04-30 14:22:27 +0000 UTCI could see these used by law enforcement in for identifying individuals involved in violent behavior in large groups of people. Not sure if it's like a little powder filled bean bag or if these just blast out a cloud of dust. If it was a bean bag, it would be easy to identify those hit when police establish a perimeter and catch them as they walk through check points. And since the powder is only UV visible, those people wouldn't have a clue anything was wrong until they got to the check point and could then be detained without endangering anyone else.
