Thanks for the input! And yes - Knox food gelatin. It ended up a bit thicker than I wanted but works great! It was like 1/3 cup water to 4 envelopes of gelatin then add food color. I don't think I added enough food coloring last night so still experimenting. But what was REALLY cool was adding oatmeal to the wounds to make it look more "messed up"!

ah i see. well i`d try what they recommend with a test and another one with less and another one with more water, gives you different constituency.
Never Used Gelatin, its Gelatin ( food version?)

I'm not sure what it's called but the make-up people from The Walking Dead said that you add just a small amount of water (1/3 cup or less) to one box gelatin then refrigerate. You can slowly melt it after it congeals to use as wounds. It looked GREAT!!!! I was just wondering how much water to add to exactly how much gelatin.....
