Research and Third Degree Burns

5/8/14
I researched how prosthetics were made and saw it wasn't an easy task to accomplish quickly or easily. It takes either a full day or a couple of days to make and finish a prosthetic, also depending on the size of the prosthetic being made. I also learned that I can use liquid latex as a substitute of scar wax. With liquid latex, it takes time to dry, probably around 10 minutes. However, about 7 or 8 layers of this product are needed to be applied, also depending of the type of work needed, but it usually will need many layers. I am able to replace scar wax with liquid latex if needed to make third degree burns. Speaking of burns, I did create a small burn look on my hand as well. It took time since I needed the liquid latex it dry. I created a few big holes into the now dry latex, and a few small ones. Not perfect circles, since I wanted to make it look realistic. I then applied some red and purple from the color pallets onto the inside of the holes and around it. I then outlined the inside of the holes with a black and red mix to give it depth. After, I applied some Vaseline to give it the new layer of skin look. It took a while to make this but it was fun to do.
