What it is used for
This gelatine is the reference material for FX makeup and special effects artists who need flexible, realistic and skin-safe prosthetics. Its colorless formula makes it the perfect base for fully customized color mixes.
- Fabrication of facial and body prosthetics for film, television and theatre
- Creation of wounds, scars, burns and gore effects
- Prototypes and mold tests before working with other prosthetic media
- Custom coloring with compatible pigments or dyes to obtain exact skin tones or creature colors
- Training and technical learning in FX makeup: allows practicing casting, demolding and finishing without high cost
- Special effects in photography, music videos and low-budget productions
How to use it
- Mold preparation: apply a thin layer of suitable release agent on all mold surfaces to facilitate demolding. If the mold is silicone, this may not be necessary.
- Cut or use the whole block: if you only need a small amount, cut the block into pieces. Less mass means less heating time.
- Melt the gelatine: place the pieces in a wax melter or a microwave-safe container. Heat at low power in short cycles, stirring frequently to achieve uniform melting. Avoid boiling: boiling degrades the gel structure and weakens the final prosthetics.
- Add color (optional): once melted and in liquid state, incorporate the chosen pigments or dyes and mix well until the desired tone is achieved.
- Cast into the mold: carefully pour the liquid gelatine into the mold. Work quickly, as it begins to solidify as soon as the temperature drops.
- Cool: let it rest at room temperature or speed up the process by placing the mold in the refrigerator.
- Demold: once solidified and at room temperature, carefully remove the prosthetic from the edges.
- Reuse: trimmings and leftover gelatine can be melted again together with surplus material. Filter any possible impurities before casting again.
Caution: freshly melted gelatine reaches high temperatures and can cause burns. Do not touch the liquid material directly with your skin. Use protective gloves and work on a stable surface. Keep out of reach of children.
Usage tips
Temperature control: the key to a good result
The biggest mistake when working with Prosthetic Gelatin is overheating. Use the wax melter at medium temperature and stir constantly. If you see large bubbles or notice the material starting to darken, lower the temperature immediately. A well-worked 300 Bloom gelatine produces prosthetics with very good strength and detail.
Custom coloring
The colorless version gives you total freedom. You can use powder pigments or gelatine-compatible oil-soluble dyes. Add the color when the gelatine is already completely melted and homogeneous, just before casting. Mix slowly to avoid introducing air bubbles. If you need to start from a ready-made flesh tone base, the Titanic FX Gelatina Prostética Carne de color Claro can save you time in productions with tight deadlines.
Storage and reuse
Store the unmelted gelatine in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Once melted and re-solidified, it retains its properties over multiple cycles as long as it has not been contaminated. If you mix batches of different colors, bear in mind that the resulting tone will be a blend of both.
Frequently asked questions
How many times can this material be reused?
Titanic FX colorless Prosthetic Gelatin is completely reusable. You can melt and solidify it as many times as you need without it losing its properties, as long as you do not overheat it or contaminate it with dirt or incompatible materials. Filter residues between uses to maintain casting quality.
Is it safe to apply directly on the skin?
Yes. This gelatine is Food Safe grade and non-toxic, making it safe for use in contact with skin once solidified and at the appropriate temperature. Never apply the material in liquid state directly onto the skin: the temperature can cause burns. Always make sure the prosthetic is at room temperature before placing it.
What should I use to melt the gelatine?
The most recommended option is a wax melter with temperature control, as it allows the material to be kept in the optimal range without the risk of boiling it. The microwave also works, but requires more attention: heat in short cycles of 15-20 seconds and stir between each cycle. Never use direct flame.
What happens if the gelatine boils during heating?
Boiling degrades the molecular structure of the gelatine and reduces its strength and flexibility. The result is more fragile prosthetics with poorer detail definition. If you see the material boiling, remove the heat immediately, let it cool slightly and melt again at a lower temperature.
Which molds is this gelatine compatible with?
Titanic FX colorless Prosthetic Gelatin is compatible with silicone molds (no release agent needed in most cases), plaster and resin. For porous molds such as plaster, always apply a release agent before casting. Silicone molds offer the best surface finish and the cleanest demolding.
Can this gelatine be colored and how?
Yes, the colorless version is specifically designed for that purpose. Add powder pigments or compatible oil-soluble dyes when the gelatine is fully melted and just before casting. Mix carefully to avoid bubbles. You can achieve any tone: from human skin tones to fantasy creature colors.
How long does it take to solidify after casting?
At room temperature, Prosthetic Gelatin starts to gel within a few minutes. The full solidification time depends on the thickness of the piece and the ambient temperature. To speed up the process, place the mold in the refrigerator for 10-20 minutes. Do not use the freezer: excessively rapid cooling can create stress in the piece.
How should this material be stored correctly?
Store the block in a cool, dry place away from direct light. Refrigeration is not necessary in its solid state. Once melted and re-solidified, the same storage conditions apply. Avoid contamination of the material with water, dust or residues from other products.
