Moulded Scars

What you will need:


  • Mould
  • Petrolease Spray
  • Vaseline
  • Prosaide
  • Pro-clean remover 
  • Witch Hazel 
  • Supracolour
  • May need barrier cream if model has sensitive skin 
  • Fixing Spray 
  • Powder
1. Apply prosaide to clean skin and prosthetic and wait until the glue goes clear as it will appear white when first applied.
2. Once the glue is clear press prosthetic firmly onto the skin and hold.
3. Using witch hazel and a baby bud, apply around the edges of the prosthetic to melt down and make them appear less visible on the skin. 
4. Once the edges have been blended, powder the prosthetic and start applying the appropriate colour using supracolour making it look as realistic as possible, 
5. Once all the colour is applied use the fixing spray to set the colour on the prosthetic, 
6. To remove the prosthetic, peel off the prosthetic and lightly apply and rub on some Pro-clean remover to remove the remaining glue on the skin. 


Tip: If you want to make the wound look fresh and more realistic add some fake blood and also you may wish to use some vaseline to make the skin appear swollen and weeping. I applied wound filler into my scar to give the illusion of a deep cut and I find that this keeps it looking life-like and new,
