Woochie Latex The Jokester

Woochie Latex The Jokester

The Woochie Latex The Jokester is a ready-to-apply wound application from Woochie, shaped like an iconic Joker-smile cut wound across the cheeks. Apply it, paint it, add blood and your horror, Halloween, or SFX look is complete.

What is the Jokester?

A latex prosthetic in the shape of a wide slash wound that extends the mouth corners towards the cheeks, with thin finished edges that blend seamlessly into the skin. Remove it carefully after use, clean it and store it dry so 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's where you make the difference.

How do you apply the Jokester?

Hold the prosthetic dry against your face first to find the right placement. 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 hold; for a quick fix you can also use spirit gum. Let the adhesive become tacky before pressing the prosthetic onto your skin.

Press the prosthetic firmly from the centre towards the edges. Then blend the edges with liquid latex or Pros-Aide Cream. Multiple thin layers give the smoothest transition. Powder the edges well with setting powder before you start colouring the prosthetic.

Painting and blood

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

Setting and removal

Set your colour work with setting powder so nothing runs. 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, gently lift the prosthetic and rinse the skin with lukewarm water.
