Burns – Gelatine

Equipment

·         Red gelatine

·         Yellow gelatine

·         Tissue

·         Bowl of water

Method

1.       Firstly you need to melt the gelatine in the microwave.  Put the tube into a bowl of water and put in the microwave for 1-2 minutes.  Keep checking as you don’t want the gelatine to burn/get too hot.

2.       Test the gelatine on your skin before you apply it to your model so it’s not too hot.  Then squeeze some onto the skin and apply some tissue.  Do this all over the skin until you are happy with your burn.

3.       It is good to use red and yellow gelatine to get different colour burn effects.

You can also use latex and tissue to create a burn.  You do this by layering latex and 1ply tissues over the skin.  Then once it has dried apply some supracolour to make it look more like a burn.  I prefer using gelatine as it looks rubbery and flesh like.
