Nov 19, 2008 - WARNING: You'll now need Remove it All (100% isopropyl myristate) to remove the layers of prosthetic adhesive instead of warm water. Do not use 99% isopropyl alcohol to remove the leftover adhesive or else your skin will be raw 1-2 days afterwards and will peel.Any makeup you put on your face will - especially if you are drinking any alcoholic beverages before the application and during. Certain medications that you take orally and topically may leech onto and remove the makeup as well.

Nov 19, 2008 - thank you! i order mehron gelatin, will it be the same? and to make the scars is it difficult?, im doing it on a client.
adomme Says:
Nov 19, 2008 - No the Mehron one lifts its edges. It has very little staying power and IMO is a waste of money. If you can return/exchange it, I'd advise that.The scars aren't difficult to do. For someone who never has done it before, most likely "yes". So practice with it before you work on your client.

Nov 19, 2008 - ive made heaps of joker scars with latex, silicone and wax and i did use gelitin but i never saw ones this good is this the same method used in the movie cos i havant seen this done before
adrian23hdez Says:
Nov 19, 2008 - where do you get the gelatin/?
adomme Says:
Nov 19, 2008 - The method used in the movie was called injected silicone appliances. It's a testy and slightly difficult process that I can't describe or show on here.
malkyalky Says:
Nov 19, 2008 - ive tried making them with silicone how would you stick them on because spirit gum dousent last so long
adomme Says:
Nov 19, 2008 - No other adhesive will stick with silicone except for silicone glues (which are very expensive). The best silicone glue I find is made by PPI called Telesis 5. Don't forget to get the thinner.
adomme Says:
Nov 19, 2008 - Easleys Fun Shop. Youtube isn't letting me reply back to you so well, so you'll just have to google that.
malkyalky Says:
Nov 19, 2008 - ok thanks youve been a great help
crenshawxpunch Says:
Nov 19, 2008 - hey aeni, i've used regular knox gelatin to make burns and i keep running into the same problem, where after it dries it gets really stiff and some of my edges chip off. would you say i'm better off using ben nye gelatin or am i doin something wrong here?hope to hear from you soon :)
adomme Says:
Nov 19, 2008 - What's your full recipe? I don't ever use Knox but use bloom and sorbitol in my own - but I make HUGE batches of gelatin to make appliances with.If you're doing the scars and just want to do a build up, just buying the Ben Nye will be more cost effective in the long run.
crenshawxpunch Says:
Nov 19, 2008 - im not making prosthetics. just heating up water, addin it to knox gelatin powder, mix then apply onto the skin and sculpt it. i'm goin to make a big burn on the side of my face like freddy krueger, i'll probably end up buyin a bottle of the ben nye. but thank you for replying! :)
adomme Says:
Nov 19, 2008 - Lol - no problem. Doing it that way is like making Jello and putting it on your face...only way less tasty.
DFILMS08 Says:
Nov 19, 2008 - ...............or get rigid collodion.
adomme Says:
Nov 19, 2008 - I don't like using collodion. I realize you may not follow IATSE Union codes and safe practices but you should know collodion contains ether (a tranquilizer) and needs acetone to be removed. You can pull it off but it irritates the skin with repeated use and application. Also it doesn't keep very well - as soon as you open it it will start to slowly evaporate and thicken just like liquid latex will.But to each his/her own.

Nov 19, 2008 - Sincerely, good job to all those dedicated makeup artists and scar-schemers this year, but THANK GOD no more Joker Makeup tutorials. Well, these folks are just having fun, I guess, but seriously, thank God.
adomme Says:
Nov 19, 2008 - It just makes me wonder what the next big movie for Halloween'll be. Either way I'm happy that TDK made people so much more interested in makeup and MUFX.Though I'll admit I was disappointed no one wanted to be Simple Jack this year.
adomme Says:
Nov 19, 2008 - You'll need Prosthetic adhesive, final seal, and a white latex sponge torn into 2.When you're done sculpting the gelatin, edges blended, and it is set and powdered (excess removed) apply a little of the prosthetic adhesive over it and feather the edges. When "clear", use another sponge to spread on final seal - same feathered edge. Repeat this process 3 more times. Powder when finished and continue on with the makeup.
