Handle with care and discretion to avoid unintended messes. ## Description desertcart.com : Shomer-Tec Special Ingredients Purple Rain Powder : Gag And Practical Joke Toys : Sports & Outdoors Review: Purple hands for days! - When I ordered the purple rain it said it was back ordered for a few months, but it ended up shipping within a week. Mine came in a small container but a little goes a long ways. I used it to get coworkers to quit stealing my gloves. I put inside the gloves and it would badly stain their hands purple as soon as they started to sweat. Once this stuff gets wet it is a purple nightmare. Some of them took the gloves off to answer the phone and got it on their faces too. It worked great. Usually after washing their hands they still have some purple to them, but around the finger nails lasts at least a week. The longer they keep the gloves on the deeper the shade of purple their hands are. When you use this stuff either be very very careful or wear latex gloves. Also beware that it will stain anything it comes into contact with. If you put it in clothes it will ruin them. I used the tip of a letter opener to put a little bit of the powder in each glove. After 6 people had their hands stained they quit stealing my gloves! I used this in a shop, but if your thinking of inside a home or vehicle I would reconsider unless you absolutely despise the person because it will stain anything they touch and if you spill any powder it will end up staining whatever it is on.

A few grains of this stuff on some double sided tape stuck to the item that is private etc will catch the thief purple handed. Word of warning; this stuff is very potent, a little goes a long way, will stain clothes permanently and the only way I've found to get it off your skin is with bleach. Use with caution. **Q: Is this potassium permanganate?** A: Triarylmethane dye. Not potassium permanganate. **Q: besides pranks and jokes are there any practical uses, like how well dose it work as an actual purple dye for cloth? what shade of purple do you get?** A: It would be a dark purple, (Google gentian violet stain) but you would not have a lot of control over the result. I would not recommend as a dye for fabric, just can insure it's permanent if it gets on fabric. **Q: Can the dye be removed from the money after I find the theif or do I loose those bills?** A: If the money gets wet, it will stain the money, which, doesn't hurt anything really, it's still legal tender. But if the dust stays dry the money will be fine. Even the slightest amount of sweat on the hands though will render your hands PURPLE! :D ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Purple hands for days! *by D***N on July 30, 2016* When I ordered the purple rain it said it was back ordered for a few months, but it ended up shipping within a week.

I work in a medical laboratory and therefore my partner and I cannot keep snacks in our work area. We each have a drawer by the communal coffee pot that is clearly labeled as ours and everyone knows why. Almost daily, I would go to grab something to go with my lunch and find it missing. Same with the other lab employee. The thief especially seemed to have an affinity for pop-tarts. My husband, a retired policeman, told me about sneak thief powder that banks would use on bills to catch people. The way it works it to brush a fine layer of the dust on the item being stolen, then when it is handled, it basically sticks to the skin. Washing it makes the purple powder bloom! And it is permanent, although I found alcohol works best at lightening it. We each set up a trap by taking a gallon ziploc bag and filling it with irresistible items..... pop tarts, reeses cups, jerky, etc. (make a list of what you put in the trap bag) Then we waited...... about 3 days later, we noticed purple specks all over the sink and evidence that it had been attempted to be cleaned. We surreptitiously checked all the employees hands and found nothing! Then we went to the housekeeping room. Multiple towels covered in purple stains. cleaning product containers covered in purple stains. Everything that had been touched purple stains. (Now keep in mind, the trap was purposely set in a sealed ziploc in a closed lableled drawer to prevent accidental exposure.) Hoping that this was punishment enough and deterrent for future theft, we simply piled the rags on the table with a note, "Gotcha. Thou shalt not steal. Wonder what else we did this to?" This was money wellllllll spent, and there is enough left over for loads and loads of sharing and pranks. ## Frequently Bought Together - Shomer-Tec Special Ingredients Purple Rain Powder - Shomer-Tec Special Ingredients Panic Powder OC Powder - Shomer-Tec Special Ingredients Hellfire and Brimstone Vial --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.sg/products/2636618-shomer-tec-special-ingredients-purple-rain-powder](https://www.desertcart.sg/products/2636618-shomer-tec-special-ingredients-purple-rain-powder) --- *Product available on Desertcart Singapore* *Store origin: SG* *Last updated: 2026-08-21*
