Yeah, don\'t buy that stuff.

Too late.
:wink:

Thanks for the suggestions guys...I\'ll definitely give them a try.

I must give my wife credit for mentioning corn starch before I posted here...she gave me hell when I said "the guys on my board said to try cocoa powder or corn starch" as if she hadn\'t already mentioned the corn starch.

Oooo Scecail effects are my specialty. Just add a little (non chunky) Penut butter
and for next time....
-Normal
Get tupperware for a bowl mix red(1 tbls) & blue(1 drop) food coloring, corn surup(1 cup),& (optional if you want it thin) 1tbls of water
-Stable
Mix 1 tube of close up (or any other red toothpaste) & 1/2 oz. of red food coloring
:wink:

My buddy and I just made some the other day. Corn syrup, some water and red food coloring with a bit of green worked the best.

Karo syrup,red,yellow,and a drop of blue food coloring works great.

Hey, it\'s not too late for me to make a batch of my own blood...I\'m going to try your recipes from scratch.


Thanks!

Just mixed a cup of caro syrup with with a tablespoon of red & 2 drops of green food coloring...looks good, but I\'d still like it a little thicker, less runny. Oh yeah, and how hard is the food colored blood to wash off?

My friend threw some of the blood we made on a pair of old jeans and left it for a couple days. It all washed off in the washing machine.

Add some gelatin to it...
For those that don\'t know, gelatin is a colorless or slightly yellow, transparent, brittle protein formed by boiling the specially prepared skin, bones, and connective tissue of animals. YUM!

Oh, and coffee grounds ,not the instant kind, can make it thicker and give a nice scabby look.

One thing I found worked nicely was mixing acrylic red and black paint to Perma-Wet. When I put it on clothes and let it dry overnight, the clothes are perfectly dry and wearable, but the blood looks wet and nasty, but it\'s still very flexable.

I\'ve also been thinking about mixing paint with clear silicone, (like a tube of plumbing caulk) and seeing how well that dries and is it flexable. Mostly because I can get a tube of clear 100% silicone from Sears up the street and Perma-Wet I gotta order online.

Good luck.
