Do fingerprints show on concrete?

Question

if I put my hand on concrete would it leave behind fingerprints?

Answer 1

No.

However you will leave an indentation in the concrete and get cement on you hand.

Make sure you wash your hand.  Cement can burn, and you definitely want to avoid getting it in your eyes.

Cheers and good luck.

Why would you want to put your hands in concrete...are you a two year old?

Answer 2

Probably not.  Wet concrete is usually too lumpy and too liquid to preserve the kind of detail necessary to leave fingerprints.

Answer 3

Dry concrete is too porous. There are too many spaces in the solid surface to get perfect prints. But there might be the chance that enough can be retrieved to make a match.
