  • Patent number: 7521112
    Abstract: The present invention is a system for hiding and later revealing a hidden layer. The system includes a substrate and applicator. As the user moves the applicator around the substrate, a coating is rendered transparent to reveal a hidden layer under the pattern of the user's movement of the applicator. The system comprises a substrate at least partially coated with a generally opaque coating that reacts with an eradicator fluid. A preferred coating as applied to the substrate comprises 20-80 wt % water, 0-3 wt % defoamer, 0-3 wt % surfactant, 0-5 wt % wetting agent, 1-25 wt % colorant, 1-60 wt % resin, and 0-4 wt % preservatives. A preferred reducing fluid in such case comprises 30-95 wt % water, 1-5 wt % pH adjuster, 5-15 wt % reducing agent, 0-5 wt % surfactant, and 2-10 wt % buffer.
