[@angelaelliott2608]

Thanks for the info! This is cool! Could you do a video showing the process involved to go from cube of skin into a gash or wound?? I know where you're going with it, i just wanna see how you get there..

[@teiat3583]

I want to try to make a deadpool mask. I have used liquid latex and cotton but it was too rigid. I am hoping this will be just what I need

[@DeadLightStudio]

Sfx gelatin is great for Making burn type of skin.

[@marvelousstudio3601]

you did a great job! I loved your technique. I want to make elf ears for my performance and now am going to try your instruction. I will back and will let you know what did I do. thanks really. btw, right now I dont have Corn Syrup. can I use corn flour and Glycerin instead corn syrup?

[@DeadLightStudio]

Oh that sounds so cool. But I am not sure about Flour but Glycerin could be a product to sub for corn syrup.

[@marvelousstudio3601]

@@DeadLightStudio thanks for guide. yeah I thought of Glycerin but dont know how much I have to use instead of corn syrup. any suggestions?

[@DeadLightStudio]

Hey I think if you add one part glycerin inside the corn syrup that should work. As long as the ratio is 1:1 with the water.

[@marvelousstudio3601]

@@DeadLightStudio Thanks for guide. its not possible to use only Glycerin?

[@DeadLightStudio]

I wouldn’t know for sure but it’s definitely worth check that out.

[@luanerossouw7999]

is there any difference between corn syrup and glycerine

[@subliminallyme7456]

One spoils, one dosen’t I think

[@radio9939]

What do buyou use this stuff for? Is it like liquid latex?

[@wilkas]

Can I use any glucose syrup (derived not from corns)?

[@DeadLightStudio]

I think so. Chemistry wise it could be the same

[@jamee_maree]

Will this be pliable or hardened? (Similar to a resin mold)

[@kylewithers1447]

Making trauma FX products for films. Mostly quick on the fly stuff, but ironically enough I had everything I needed for this as I ran out and I'm sitting here like, damn I guess I'm making it now!

[@wilkas]

How do you clean the beaker where you make this gelatin? Can you wash it with hot water over the sink and is it safe for plumbing?

[@DeadLightStudio]

Personally I do not. Due to without water it will get hard and could clog. But with hot water and soap it could would. I just always throw it away in the dumpster.

[@LasciviousPsyche]

curious, the sound in the back was it taken from warzone2100 :). I remember them days, the good ol days.

[@delpurgatorio]

What can you make with this, show us in a video

[@DeadLightStudio]

I’m thinking of doing a whole series with SFX gelatin. Let me know if you have any cool ideas.

[@seangeary7100]

I have seen a lot of people saying that you have to use glycerine instead of the corn syrup. I would assume that glycerine makes the solution have a longer shelf life versus corn syrup, but I can't be certain of this. Can anyone speak to this at all? I know in this video, he stated that you should keep the sfx gelatin frozen or refridgerated.

[@ThorkiThorki-q2e]

When you let it harden can you melt it down again

[@mercedesterry7450]

Yes you just heat in the microwave for a few secs at a time and then mold or create your sfx with it either on parchment paper or directly on your skin but be careful not to burn yourself

[@kmarusina]

My mix of 1:1:1 water cirn syrup gelatin is really liquid, not at all like shown in the video

[@Joe-z5q]

Can you use it right out of the microwave on your face for a zombie ?

[@jordybones8964]

Apply liquid latex first to your skin before the gelskin so it sticks to skin but make sure that the gelskin is cool enough to apply to skin.
