Hey everyone and welcome to the triumphant return of the Build Plans! I know these are an important part of Indy Mogul and am glad to have them back. So this week I'm showing you how to make an even better fake hand. If you want to see the first version of the fake hand click here!here!
Main List of Ingredients:
1 roll plaster gauze.
(You should be able to buy this at any good art store or online.)
One 1lb. container of Alginate.
(We used "Algiform" brand "slow set" alginate.)
4-5 (1oz.) boxes of Knox Gelatin.
(We actually made 8 boxes worth and had way too much left over.)
Red food coloring.
(You should always have some of this on hand. Whenever I go to the grocery store I clean them out of Red food coloring!)
Liquid Latex.
(Flesh tone, not clear.)
1 pair of panty hose.
(A cheap flesh tone is good. Even an old pair would do.)
3 feet of tubing.
(I would recommend soft rubber tubing for this application.)
1 non-lubricated condom.
(You can get free condoms in lots of places like health centers and often school.)
Basic makeup kit.
(Some reds and whites to add detailed shading to your fake hand.)
Fake Blood.
(Red food coloring, corn syrup and water.)

Signing UpStep 1: Making Ballistics Gel
I'm going to gloss over this subject because we have covered it many times. You carefully mix your Knox powder with water at a ratio of 1oz (one box) of Knox for every cup of water in a large cooking pot. Once you have the desired volume, I'd suggest 4-5 cups for this job, refrigerate the whole thing for an hour. This is called the "blooming" process and has something to do with hydrating the mix. While you wait I would move on to the molding process described below. However when the gel is done blooming take it out of the fridge and break it up with a spoon. The gel mix should be hard like jello already, but it's not done yet. Once you've broken it up, apply to low heat on your stove top. Slowly bring the gel to around 130 degrees (F) as you constantly stir. By now it should be a liquid and it is ready to pour into whatever mold you have made. Once it is in the mold it needs 36 hours in the fridge to set properly.
