FAQs – Blood Glow Blood Tracking Reagent
Do I need an UV light to make BLUESTAR work or special glasses?
No all you need is water even Lake Stream or pond water.
Can I use urine instead of water?
NO. 4% of the population have blood in their urine and most don’t know it and can’t see it. Blood in the urine will make the mix glow before it is even sprayed.
The instructions say for full strength you use 4 tablets but you say I can use less. Why?
The instructions were copied from the police instructions and they mix it strong for photos. Hunters should use 1 set of tablets in 8 to 24 ounces of water. The spray bottle is 8 ounces to fit into a fanny pack but you can dilute BLUESTAR even more than that.
Is PayPal the only payment method?
No, we accept Visa and MasterCard, checks, American Express, Discover and money orders.
I am a retail business. Do you sell BlueStar wholesale?
Yes! We are looking for retailers to sell BLUESTAR. BLUESTAR is used by Police in 76 countries for crime scene investigation and has held up in even the highest of courts in many nations.

Or even lost a deer because the blood trail seemed to disappear?
