Deep Cuts:

•      Start by applying derma shield to the desired area to protect the skin from the collodium, as it is very alcoholic.

•      Then apply the collodum to the area where you want the cut to be, making sure to work fast as it drys quick.

•      Squeeze the lip together to create a deep cut appearance.

•      Dry with a cool hair dryer.

Scratches:

•      Apply lines of tuplast where you want the marks to be.

•      Apply a small amount of powder to take the shine away using a cotton pad.

•      Apply a small amount of colour ontop using a dabbing technique, blend in.

To get out of the mould:

·      Use a pin to lift the edges.

·      Powder a soft brush and gently lift the mould away.
