There are many fiberglass fingerprint brushes currently on the market that “do the job” of powder processing.  The Salicco Fingerprint Brush was developed by a CSI with the everyday hardworking CSI in mind to be their “favorite everyday fingerprint brush”.  This brush is hand made with quality materials and is heavier than most standard fiberglass fingerprint brushes.  It comes with a custom PVC tube carrier.  This brush is washable and reusable, and is not meant to be a “one time use” brush.
