I'm thinking red piping gel. Has anyone else done this? I'm wondering if it will be thin enough to actually drip down, or if I need to add water or corn syrup to get the right consistency. Any ideas?
use stage blood:
the "classic" recipe
clear corn syrup
water to thin it a bit
red food color
blue food color
make syrup bright red.
tone it with blue to either artery (less blue) or venous (more blue)
thin to runniness needed.
----
optional
if too "clear"
add either
cornstarch -- makes translucent
or
flour -- makes opaque
-----
totally edible -- can even flavor it
BUT
it STAINS like the dickens
-------
and just for fun, here's a link to a pdf of other stage blood recipes -- the ones w/ detergent developed to keep the costume people from killing the prop people (stage blood is "props")

have fun!
