You will need:
Moulds
Gelatine- flesh coloured
Petrolise
Vaseline
Prosaide
Cotton buds
Pro clean remover
Witch hazel
Translucent powder
Round brush
Small brushes suitable for colouring scars and applying
blood
Supracolor
Moisturiser
Fixer spray
Fake blood if you
want to use it- for wounds rather than scars
Method:
-Use moulds to make wounds for example scars. This can be
done by using flesh coloured gelatine, which is available in different shades
to match different people’s skin.
-The moulds can be cleaned before and after use by spraying
them with Petrolise which is a release spray and can be used when silicone or
latex is used in moulds as well. Alternatively Vaseline can be used before the
products are put into the moulds.
-Apply Prosaide to the area of skin the prosthetic is going
to be on and also to the prosthetic. Prosaide is a type of contact glue, at
first it is a white, milky colour and as it dries it becomes clear. Use a
cotton bud to apply the Prosaide.
-Wait for the Prosaide to go clear and then stick the
prosthetic to the skin. Make sure you press down firmly and hold it in place
whilst the glue dries. You can then use a hair dryer to make sure it is fully
dry.
-A barrier cream is not normally needed when using Prosaide,
you can use it if you want to, if the model has extremely sensitive skin.
-A patch test is not usually required for Prosaide.
-Prosaide must be removed properly with Pro Clean remover.
-When the prosthetic is stuck to the skin the edges can be
softened and blended into the skin by dissolving them slightly using a cotton
bud soaked in witch hazel. Use a forwards and backwards movement to do this,
towards the prosthetic and then away from it.
-Then powder the prosthetic using a product such as
translucent powder.
-Use Supracolor to colour the to make them look like scars
or wounds using small brushes. Mix the Supracolor with moisturiser if you need
to make it thinner or more transparent.
-Use a fixer spary over the Supracolor before applying any
fake blood so that it doesn’t smudge. Use Vaseline over the Supracolor if you
want the wound to look wet. Shine and moisture make the wounds look more 3D.
-When you have removed the prosthetic using Pro Clean
remover, powder it before storing it especially if there are several moulds in
a box. This will help stop them from sticking together if they melt slightly.
-Moulds are used a lot for continuity to make prosthetics,
you can get them from many places such as Charles Fox and Neil’s Materials-
Neil Gorton’s company.
- For continuity take photos as you go along and look at the
scar or wound in the mirror as it will look more like it will do on camera as
the naked eye pics up more detail when directly looking close up at the wound
than a camera.
Burns
You will need:
Bottled gelatine, Powder Gelotine or block gelatine which is
better as less product is wasted- from Charles fox or Asda. From some suppliers
you can get a variety of colours.
Gel glycerine can also be used, it’s good for fashion as you
can draw patterns onto the skin using it.
Glycerine -used for sweat or to make things look shinny. You
can also mix it with Aquacolor and colour hair with it.
You can use latex or colodian instead of gelotin but you
must use a barrier cream when using colodian.
Small bowl
Spatulas
Supracolor
Small brushes
Hairdryer
Powder
Old make-up puff
Cotton buds
Witch hazel or warm water
Method:
-Remove glycerine and gelatine with warm water when you have
finished.
-Gelotine is good if someone is allergic to latex, however
if someone is vegan then use latex.
-They don’t require a barrier cream.
-Melt the gelatine in a microwave, checking its consistency approximately
every 15 seconds.
-If using block gelatine put it in a microwaveable bowl and
melt a small amount at a time so you don’t waste any product.
-If the gelatine comes in a bottle or is powdered, put some
into a dish and mix with a small amount of water.
-Stir the gelatine to make sure it is heated all the way
through.
-Always test the gelatine temperature on yourself before
applying it to anyone else for example on the back of your hand.
-If you are using metal tools be careful as the metal will
get warm easily.
-You can melt the gelatine again if it cools and becomes too
solid to work with.
-You can mix glitter into gelatine for fashion looks but mix
it in after you have melted the gelatine as glitter is metal. You can also mix
in tissue to look like flaky skin- this sometimes works better when using
latex.
-You can mix Aquacolor with the gelatine after you have
melted it and this can go back into the microwave.
-Apply the gelatine to the skin using a spatula- preferably
not metal.
-Work fast as the gelatine will go tacky quickly, mould it
into the shape you want. Press down firmly onto the skin and then lift the
spatula up using a patting motion.
-Blend the gelatine into the skin making sure there are no
hard edges.
-Dry with a hairdryer on a cool setting.
-Powder over the gelatine using an old make-up puff.
-Use another layer of gelatine if needed to blend the edges.
-You can use a cotton bud soaked in witch hazel or warm
water to melt and blend the edges.
-Then powder again.
-Apply Supracolor using small brushes to create the burn,
apply a thin layer or mix with moisturiser to make it look transparent.
-You can apply a skin colour to add depth and make it look
realistic.
-You can use fake blood on top if you want.
-You can use glycerine to make the burn look shiny, if it is
near the eye area though use Vaseline instead.
-Gelotine can be used on the face and around the eye area, it’s
better than latex for this.
