Method 2: Thicken with hair gel
- Water-soluble hair gel
- Water-soluble personal lubricant
Instructions:
Using a small mixing bowl, combine three parts hair gel and one part lubricant. Next, add drops of red food coloring (as well as drops of blue/green) until you get the appropriate shade of blood red.
Add a little amount of chocolate syrup to get the desired consistency, and you’re done. Talk about getting things done quickly! It is very useful for making realistic-looking blood splatters with this specific variant.
