JOhn - black light for glue residye?

[Dave Bagwill]

JOhn, what is your procedure for using a black light to spot titebond residue? What does a black light look like?

[Daniel P]

I have a really old, mini florescent style like this for inspection.

Incandescent "black lights" from the hardware store don't work—maybe not true UV light?

But now there are nice little LED "black lights" flashlights that I am curious about trying.

[John Parchem]

Yes the lamp that Daniel showed the glue really shows up. I just shine it on the guitar with the light off. Finger prints and the like show up.

Thanks fellers.
Found one in stock at local Wal-Mart: $9.63

let me know if the flash light works, a lot handier than the fluorescent bulbs I have

[Dave Bagwill]

Well it has the UV and blacklight combination, so my hopes are high. I'll try it out tomorrow or Saturday.
