Some maker friends and I stay in the college's hostel, and getting out of hostel after 9.30 pm is difficult, as you need all sorts of permissions from the administrators. Also, our biometric fingerprint attendance is taken, to ensure that no one is outside without permission.

To liberate ourselves from this pain, we made moulds for faking our fingerprints. Now, the possibilities are many using these moulds, but keep in mind, we are hacking to improve upon the technologies, not misusing it.

Step 1: Materials Required

( x1 5 g each) Sugru

(x1 stick) Hot Glue, and

(x1 Tube) Fevicol adhesive (school glue)

Step 2: Methodology

The first sugru mould on which we press the finger has the negative image/impression of our fingerprint.

We take another mould material and place it over the negative mould. This new mould has the positive impression, which we can use to replicate fingerprints. It's that easy.

Beware security guys, here we come!!

Step 3: Put First Impression on Sugru

First mix sugru well in your hands, so that it becomes soft. Now, make it flat like a disc. Press your finger onto the sugru disc. Make sure that you don't move/shake your hand much while taking impression.

Now, you have created a negative impression on the sugru mould.

Let Sugru cure for one day.

For the sake of this instructable, let's call this the negative (-ve) mould.
