Evidence Examinations

Serial Number Examinations

Obliterated serial or identification numbers are often restorable, including markings on metal, wood, plastic, and fiberglass.

Casting Stamped Numbers

  • Make a cast before number restoration. Use an acrylic surface replica cast kit. Different formulas are used in different temperatures. If possible, move the evidence to a warm area.
  • Casts will duplicate foreign material in the stamped characters. Clean the area before proceeding. Remove paint and dirt with a solvent such as acetone, gasoline, or paint remover. Use a soft brush. Do not use a wire brush. Use Naval Jelly to remove rust.

 

  • Build a dam around the stamped characters to retain the acrylic liquid while it hardens. The dam material should be soft and pliable such as modeling clay. Ensure there are no voids in the dam.
  • Following instructions in the kit, mix the liquid and powder for one minute and pour it into the dam.


Preparation for casting stamped numbers.
  • The acrylic liquid will take thirty minutes to harden. Remove the cast when it is hard. If paint and rust are on the cast, make additional casts and submit the cleanest cast to the Laboratory.

Submitting Serial Number Evidence

Questions concerning serial number evidence should be directed to 03-9702366. Follow the Evidence Submission directions including Requesting Evidence Examinations and Packaging and Shipping Evidence.

  • If possible, remove the piece of frame rail containing the serial number, indicate where on the vehicle the cut was taken, and submit it to Makmal Forensik.
  • Indicate where on the vehicle the cast was taken. Pack the cast to prevent breakage.
