With all the incessant focus on computer hacking, banks, passwords, credit cards and all that stuff, it’s easy to forget that real spies don’t just rely on cracking our digital domains.

The spray apparently makes normal paper temporarily translucent, so you can ‘easily take a look at contents‘. The effect only lasts for 30 seconds, so you’d better be a fast reader, and the makers say that once the spray dries it leaves no marks at all. This sounds perfect for trying to work out where those surprise birthday event tickets are for, so you can make plans to dress properly.
You may have other uses in mind. Priced at $12 a can, which gives hundreds of square inches of use.

Steaming kettles or no.
