Woochie Latex Grand Opening

Woochie Latex Grand Opening

The Woochie Latex Grand Opening is a ready-to-use wound application from Woochie for a gaping, torn flesh wound. Apply it, paint it in and add fake blood - your horror, Halloween or SFX look is complete.

What is the Grand Opening?

A latex prosthetic in the shape of a large, gaping open wound. The edges are thinly finished so they blend naturally into your skin. Remove carefully after use, clean it and store it dry - then you can use it multiple times.

Why does this prosthetic work so well?

No kneading, no waiting for drying 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 the blood. That is where you make the difference.

How do you apply the Grand Opening?

Hold the prosthetic dry against the desired spot first to find the right position. Do this before applying 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 hold; for a quick application you can also use spirit gum. Let the adhesive become 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. Dust the edges well with setting powder before you start painting the prosthetic.

Painting and blood

Colour the prosthetic with face paint, grease paint or alcohol-activated make-up (such as Encore palettes). Work in thin layers. Start with red-purple in the depth of the open wound, then a bluish edge, then drying blood along the sides. For the blood effect: use fake blood inside the wound and a drying layer on the skin around it.

Setting and removal

Set your colour work with setting powder so nothing smears. 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 carefully and rinse the skin with lukewarm water.

What can you use it for?

• Halloween costume with a realistic gaping wound
• SFX photo shoots and film or theatre productions
• Haunted houses and horror events where impact matters
• Cosplay as a horror victim or zombie character
• Practice material for make-up artists learning SFX wounds
