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

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

Incandescent "black lights" from the hardware store don't workâmaybe not true UV light?
But now there are nice little LED "black lights" flashlights that I am curious about trying.

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.

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