Suppose someone wanted to take fingerprints. How would they go about making fingerprint powder from scratch?

Well, it's [pen taps] white? Really fine stuff. You brush it on to surfaces to see if anyone's fingerprints show up.

Does it have any specific properties of flow or adhesion that mark it?

Hm, seeing the other replies to your question gives me a sense of what you might be looking for. I concur with the this person [arrow drawn to Kurama's reply] and suggest that you acquire chalk from the arts and crafts room. With out available materials I think chalk might work a bit better than graphite due to the mineral structure. It will also powder easily using an improvised mortar. I do not recall seeing clear tape in the arts and crafts room, unfortunately.
