Woochie Latex .38 exit wound

Woochie Latex .38 Exit Wound

The Woochie Latex .38 Exit Wound is a ready-to-use wound application from Woochie for a realistic .38 calibre gunshot exit wound. Apply it, paint it in, add blood and your horror, Halloween or SFX look is complete.

What is the .38 Exit Wound?

A latex prosthetic shaped like a torn exit wound, as you would see from a .38 calibre gunshot. The edges are thinly finished and blend smoothly into the skin, making the transition almost invisible. Remove it carefully after use, clean it and store it dry, and you can use it multiple times.

Why does this prosthetic work so well?

No kneading, no waiting for dry time, no liquid latex to build up layer by layer. The shape is already there. Your work is in blending the edges, painting it in and adding blood. That is where you make the difference.

How do you apply the .38 Exit Wound?

Hold the prosthetic dry against your skin first to find the right position. Do this before you apply any adhesive.

Apply a thin layer of skin adhesive to both the back of the prosthetic and your skin. Pros-Aide is the standard for long-lasting adhesion; for a quick fix you can also use spirit gum. Let the adhesive go tacky before pressing the prosthetic onto the skin.

Press the prosthetic firmly from the centre outwards to the edges. Blend the edges using liquid latex or Pros-Aide Cream. Multiple thin layers give the smoothest transition. Powder the edges well with setting powder before you start painting the prosthetic.

Painting and blood

Colour the prosthetic with water-activated, grease or alcohol-activated face paint (such as Encore palettes). Work in thin layers. Start with red-purple deep in the wound, then a bluish rim, then drying blood along the sides. For the blood effect: add stage blood inside the wound, and apply a drying layer on the surrounding skin.

Setting and removal

Set your colour work with setting powder so nothing smudges. To remove, work a Pros-Aide remover such as Mouldlife Life Wipes, Ben Nye Remove it All or Pro-clean Cleansing Oil under the edges, lift the prosthetic gently and rinse the skin with lukewarm water afterwards.

What can you use it for?

• SFX shoots and film productions with realistic bullet wound effects
