Rigid Collodion
( Liquid when applied to skin will cause temporary indents and puffiness) prices vary form $4.25 to $13.50 but depending on where you look and buy this could vary
Third Degree
is a truly unique two-part silicone modeling and casting compound.
It sets in less than five minutes, it is clear which can be colored with
silicone pigment or makeup (A little color goes a long way, don’t over do it on
the color, you want to keep that translucent “skin” look). This silicone
product is used to create wounds and deep gash effects on the skin. It can
also be glued to the skin using itself as the adhesive. Effects can be peeled
off and used again.
