Permanent Blood - Darth Veach - 06-06-2011
The Midwest Haunter's Convention was this past weekend and I bought a prop axe to add to my collection (pictures soon). It had some of the most realistic blood spatter on it I have ever seen. Found out it is called Perma Blood and I might buy some, but would love to be able to make my own!

What I want to know is, does anyone have any good recipes for permanent blood for props, costumes etc? This stuff is very shiny and wet looking, very flexible and where it is thicker, it has that dark, almost black look that blood caking gets. Just curious what you guys use.

A really cheap way to do it is mix acrylic paint and two part clear epoxy from the hardware store. Have the paint on hand, cause when you mix the blood color into the clear acrylic, it goes a shade or two lighter, so have some blues, yellows, etc. on hand to get the shade right!
