Product Information

Pelouze announced to the French Academy of Sciences that Ménard and Domonte had discovered that cellulose nitrate could be dissolved in ether in: Pelouze (9 November 1846) "Observations sur la xyloïdine," Comptes rendus … , 23: 861–862. Realistic looking scars can be incorporated into cosplay with the use of Rigid Collodion, also known as scarring liquid. After 2 hours, I decided to give it a try and set up a quick still life of things found around the studio.

Use various strokes in a multitude of directions to craft a realistic injury and don’t focus on making it look perfect. I forgot about that part and ended up with a gelatinous mass at the bottom of the flask that was sticky and semi-transparent.There’s no way to remove a portion of the Rigid Collodion without ruining the rest of your work, so just take it slow. Rigid Collodion can actually scar your skin if you keep it on for too long or apply it to the same section of skin multiple days in a row. A lot of the makeup should peel off with the Collodion, but this washing your skin should get any stubborn color out. You can use a single shade of paint to give the wound some subtle color, or blend multiple colors together for a brighter, dynamic wound. Simply pour Spirit Gum Remover on a cotton ball and wipe away your scar creation until it peels off.

This claim was contested by the Swiss chemist Christian Friedrich Schönbein, one of several investigators who had independently discovered nitrocellulose.You can peel the Collodion off slowly with your fingers without spirit gum remover, but this will remove a thin layer of skin cells.

Don’t apply any makeup or paint before applying the Rigid Collodion if you want to add wrinkles or really old scars that won’t stand out a ton. To create a fresher looking scar, outline where you want the scar to be with the Bloody Rose hue from the ProColorRing™ Bruise Wheel as the base before applying the Rigid Collodion. About the author: Anton Orlov is an analog photographer and the man behind The Photo Palace, a 35-foot school bus that has been converted into a darkroom and presentation area for educational and artistic purposes. This allows the product to pucker the skin (if the skin is too tight, scar will not be as successful). Well, when I did it, it never clouded up, so it might have been good to go as soon as everything dissolved.

This will generally only happen if you peel off heavily applied collodion or if you use the product in the same area multiple days in a row.

After the collodion dries and forms a solid sheet covering the optic, it is carefully peeled away, taking contamination with it. Lift the plate out of the bath, drain and wipe the back, load it into a plate holder and protect from light with a dark slide. If you’re preparing for a film shoot or performance of some kind, put the Rigid Collodion on right before you head out to perform and take it off as soon as you’re done.

No matter what I seem to do, it always looks like it's dried out and about to peel off at the edges. So long as you cover every part of the skin you want to look injured, you’ll get the look you’re going for.Sometimes a piece of thin cloth is applied between the layers, to hold the collodion together for easy removal. If you’re covering a wider portion of skin for a burn or scrape, work in horizontal or vertical strips so that you cover the area entirely.
