Hi & cheers Everyone,

I was hoping that someone would share with me their recipe for fake blood to be splattered.
My last attempt was a fail as it was too watery.
I also require one that can be placed on skin for a crime scene.

Thanks

We did a a fake blood activity a couple of years ago, although it was more "making fake wounds" than blood splatter. I asked the drama teacher what they used for this, and if I recall correctly their method used chocolate topping and red food colouring; if you want it thicker you can add corn flour.

Google - FSB06 blood spatter. Hopefully it will give a site (FSB blood spatter) that has a number of blood spatter recipes (Forensic Investigations) you can work with. But you have to make sure that the 06 is included in the search.

Try steve spangler science as he has a few good recipes
