Step 6Staining Blucky

staining Blucky
i have been told that it takes a long time for carpet latex to dry... but mine was touchable within 24 hours. your dry time may vary due to climate and how thickly you smeared the latex on.

i bought MinWax mahogany gel stain for my Blucky. it gave him a nice caramelized appearance, sorta like a rack of ribs, lol. you can use 2 or 3 different colors of stain if you want, it's up to you!

use a paintbrush and just brush it on. avoid the areas cut out of the pantyhose, you don't want to hide the bones peeping through!

you can add hair and eyes if you want to. we are probably going to put an LED inside the chest cavity and possibly inside the skull to light it up and make it stand out more.

i hope you've enjoyed my instructable, and if you have any questions, message me! i'll be glad to help in any way i can!
