None

use stretchible spiders webs also along with cotton balls. u get a better 'torn and rotted' skin look with the webs.

How to tweak your skeletons for certain looks!

The steps for technique #1 using the Bucky from ACC

These materials are best for the rotted look.!



1.Wearing the disposable gloves, and working in a well ventilated area, sparingly spray 3M super 77 on a small area of your skeleton.

2. Rip a small section of Cotton Batting and apply it to the 3M adhesive.

3. Brush Latex into the batting you have applied to the skeleton.

4. Continue applying small batches entirely over the skeleton. Rip and tear the batting as you see fit for the tattered look. You want holes in the flesh so the bone shows through for the really deteriorated look.

Cheese Cloth, Paper Towels, and Toilet Paper can all be substituted for the Cotton Batting. Each one does have a different look, but experiment so you know what you will end up with.

5. The aging technique is the final step we will apply.

This method takes between 4 and 6 hours.





The steps for technique #2 using the Bucky from ACC

Latex and Great Stuff Foam for the burnt look!



1. Wearing the disposable gloves and working in a well ventilated area, spray great stuff foam into your hand.

2. Apply the foam in a small area.

3. Continue this process until you have your entire skeleton covered with foam being careful not to get any on your skin.

4. After the foam has dried, apply a coat of latex with your disposable brush over the entire armature. Now the foam has a sturdy finish.

5. PAINTING: paint the entire corpse with a fairly bright red acrylic paint, and then dry brush with a dark brown or black. This will give it that crusty burnt look.

This method takes between 4 and 6 hours.





The steps for technique #3 using the Bucky from ACC

Aging look!



1. Wearing the disposable gloves and working in a well ventilated area, apply gel stain with a disposable brush to small areas until you have completed the entire skeleton.

2. Allow the stain to sit for a couple minutes and then wipe off. The harder you work to remove the stain the less aged it will look.

Keep in mind the stain will remain tacky for a rather long time, but when it has fully dried it is fairly impervious to damage.

This method takes between 1 and 2 hours.

Who's there?

You can alkso use saran wrap before you stain as well, this helps give it a whithered, mummified look. Any fiberous sort of material will work for adding "fleshy bits" to the skeleton. on one of my skills I have cotton balls and cheese cloth as well as liquid latex.

For stain I have had good results with stain that comes in a spray can. I have used a redwood type color that ends up looking like cooked flesh, as well as a mossy green color and a brown. Drys a bit faster too!.
