Why Moulage?
There are many reasons to
bring some realism into the
teaching of First Aid and
Emergency Rescue
procedures.
•1) Lectures are boring.
•2) It provides a complete picture
of an accident scene.
•3) It improves the Scout's ability
to learn First Aid by increasing
interest and participation.
Copyright 2007 Lorie L. McGraw [email protected]
All Rights Reserved
• 4) Associating the accident to the
situation teaches safety and prevention.

storm

All Rights Reserved
• 5) Using realistic First Aid will allow the
Scout to recognize the injuries for
himself.

All Rights Reserved
Other Reasons
•6) Realistic First Aid
helps the youth to
become conditioned
against seeing the pain
and injury in actual
situations.
(Much better than saying,
"Pretend like Jeff has a compound
fracture of the upper arm...")

• 7) By actual
practice, the
application and
long-term
memorization
is vastly
improved.
• 8) It is Fun!

All levels of Scouts, even Cub Scouts, can
easily use the recipes shown at Roundtable.
. Remember that age appropriateness is
important. Cub Scouts do not need to deal
with gashes or large burns.
Refer to the
handbook for
your program
level.

Add burnt feathers for the smell and

DEEP CUTS
Create a layer of flesh-colored gelatin
where the fake cut is to be. It is
important to match the color of the skin
as much as possible and make the layer
smooth and tapered on the edges. The
idea is to form some fake skin 1/4 inch
thick that is tapered to the edges so that
it is not noticeable where the fake skin
starts.
Before the gelatin sets, using something
not sharp, create a fake cut or gash into
the gelatin.
Add plenty of fake blood.
Or put tape down,
pin it, add blood!
Dulled knives, broken thin Plexiglas
sheets, sticks,... can be inserted into
the fake cut to add more realism.
Copyright 2007 Lorie L. McGraw [email protected]
All Rights Reserved
How about gushing blood?
It is possible to hide a small clear plastic
tube to squirt the fake blood from the
cut.
The smallest clear tubes like those used
in fish tanks are OK or use the small
oxygen lines used for patients (get them
at drug stores)
The Vaseline/flour putty fake skin can be
used in place of the gelatin fake skin if
squirting blood is not needed.
(the flour putty will not hold the clear
plastic tubes in place)
or cover with tape and ooze out from
beneath it.

FAKE BLOOD
Many recipes
Buy it by the pint at places like Party City $4.99
• Mix water, red food coloring,
cocoa powder, and cornstarch
until the correct color and
thickness is obtained.
• Substitute honey or glycerin
instead of water if you do not
want the fake blood to dry out
as fast.
• If the blood is to look clotted,
adding Knox gelatin will thicken
the fake blood.

Fake Blood
Hint: The problem with
using just red food
coloring and water is
that it is too thin, too
transparent, and stains
skin and clothing.
Adding cocoa powder
will make it thicker and
opaque, and adding
cornstarch should
prevent staining
because the starch is
stained ahead of time.

Pus
• 1 Drop of red food coloring
• 2 teaspoons White liquid
soap or handlotion
Mix white liquid soap and red
food coloring together to
make slurry. Slurry should
appear to be blood tinged.
• Yellow food coloring or
prepared vanilla pudding can
be added for infectious pus
• Pistachio Pudding makes
good green pus

More Bruising and Hematomas
For automobile steering-wheel
bruising, blunt trauma bruising
and hematoma (swelling with
fluid inside), you can use
grease paint in red, blue and
black colorings.
Mix them around the area
leaving some shades unmixed
while others are blended.
Greens and yellow mimic “old”
bruises as in abuse cases.
Copyright 2007 Lorie L. McGraw [email protected]
All Rights Reserved
More Hematomas
Take one intact bubble from a piece
of bubble wrap leaving some edge
to work with.
Do not cut or damage the bubble.
Apply a small piece of molding wax
or fake skin over the bubble and
down edges.
Smooth edges down to blend onto
the simulated skin.
Use the grease paints to color the
hematoma. When you press on the
area it will feel and look like a
hematoma.

HEAT STROKE
•
•
•
Sparingly apply a very thin
white grease paint coating to
the face. Do not add so much
that it is very noticeable.
This is needed to help thin
the red grease paint and
make it easier to apply a thin
red coat.
Use red grease paint
sparingly to "flush" the face.
Put just enough on to make
the person look embarrassed,
not the devil.
Use a "fixer" spray or dust
lightly with talcum to keep
the makeup from smearing.

SHOCK / HEAT EXHAUSTION
Hypothermia
•Use white clown grease paint to
whiten the face, arms and hands until
the healthy pink appearance
disappears.
•Stipple on with makeup sponge.
•Do NOT put so much on that the skin
is completely white like that of a clown.
•Add a touch of blue to the lips and
earlobes.
•Use a "fixer" spray or dust lightly with
talcum to keep the makeup from
smearing.
•Spray a very light coating of water on
the face to make it cold and clammy.

Diaphoresis (Sweating)
To create diaphoresis on a patient,
mix liquid glycerin in a spray
bottle filled with water. Spray
desired area with contents.
Another way to mimic diaphoresis is
to spread a thin layer of Vaseline
over the area then spritz with
water from a spray bottle.
Bigger droplets work best.

More burns
Apply liquid latex (not for persons
with latex allergies) to the area
intended for burn. Let dry. Slowly
peel or “tent” latex to mimic
wrinkled skin and blistering. Add
liquid glycerin for oozing and
grease paints for proper coloring.
White thread mixed into paints and
strategically placed can mimic
tendons. Burn edges of clothing
in related area. (Please be fire
conscious).

Degloving
• To create a degloving of the hand or foot,
dip the body part in paraffin wax.
• Let dry.
• Slowly peel wax partially away from the
body part. Use grease paints for coloring.
• Add clotted/thick blood and tiny bits of
eraser for fatty tissue. Mix in liquid
glycerine for oozing.
• Or use latex fake glove and peel parts
away

• Cold cream or Vaseline removes the
grease paint makeup. Use either to
wipe off the grease paint before using
soap and water. The gelatin peels off
and the remaining gelatin dissolves in
water fairly easily.
• Vaseline also dissolves dried rubber
cement if given enough time.
• Apply a thin layer of clear latex to
the skin and allow it to dry before
adding the gelatin fake skin. It makes
it easier for the person to remove the
gelatin during cleanup.
• Colored hairspray is removed with
soap and water.

FAKE SKIN FROM GELATIN
Another recipe)
• Fill a small clear glass with hot water. Add food
coloring (red with a little green) until the water is
the color of the person's skin. It is OK if the
water is slightly more red than the person's skin
because usually the hurt area is inflamed and
red. Be careful not to add too much coloring to
the water. The water should be only tinted.
• Add the heated colored water slowly to
unflavored Knox gelatin to where the gelatin just
dissolves. The gelatin must be very thick and
fast setting in room temperature.

All Rights Reserved
• Judge the color of the gelatin to the skin color.
Usually one gets the colored water the right
color, but is too dark after adding the gelatin and
thus has to be diluted with hot water. So go light.
• Allow the gelatin to cool to where it can be
placed on the person without scalding the
person. Taper the edges to blend into the skin
when applying.
• NOTE: The gelatin fake skin is only good for an
hour before it dries out too much. If it needs to
last longer, try spraying water on the gelatin
wound every 10 minutes or so to keep it from
drying out.
