Blood On Hockey Masks

[Darth Veach ●]

I am working on a part 4 Hockey Mask for myself (finally) and I want to know what most of you guys have had success with when it comes to the blood around the axe cut. I have a good clear red from Tamiya, but I am afraid it is too bright to look like blood. What methods do you guys use to get that dark red/semi-transparent wet look? Thanks in advance for any help offered!
