Pete :
The fluorescent dye is a reality, check with your local auto parts supply (I
found the dye only on sale at Kragen for $5), or with Eastwood (although I
can only seem to find the coolant dye on their web site). They do need a
"UV" lamp, but rather than paying $50-100 for the industrial version, they
can be had at Spencer Gifts (or similar) for under $25. In fact, last time
I looked, Home Depot sold a replacement UV fluorescent bulb for about $8,
you might already have a fixture it would work in. (Another possibility for
the truly cheap is to salvage a suitable ballast from a broken lamp, and
solder the leads to the lamp. I made several of these back in college.)
Another trick I've heard of (but not tried) is to use spray foot powder.
