Hi! Welcome back to Expert Village. And on my way here, I had a little accident. I'm kidding! I'm Grace Fraga, I'm here with Brad Schecter. And he is making me the victim of a car accident. Yes, I am. So, now what do we need to complete this beautiful scar, that you created? Well, as great as it looks, it's going to need some blood. To give it that fresh look. Ah! really? And what you're going to use for that? Here I have some blood gel. You can also just eat or you can make your own. You don't have to buy, you can just make it with corn syrup and food coloring. And you could freeze it. Really? Yeah, put it in the freezer for a few minutes, if you want that thickness. Or, I just like it ready to go. Yeah, that's easier. It's easier. So, I'm just going to go ahead and apply some of this to my Popsicle stick. And these, you can also buy at any craft store. They sell them in huge quantities. And they're not expensive. No, no. Oh! O.k. You can buy like a box three hundred for yeah, like five dollars. Something like that. Oh! what, three hundred? Something like that, yeah. More than you need. So, I'm going to go ahead and start applying the blood gel. Ooh! it's refreshing, actually. Is it? It's kind of moisturizing me. Yes, after all this gelatin on my face. Try not to knot it in your hair. That's o.k. Oh! Yeah! Ooh! Look, it looks real! Ooh! Nice and bloody. Yeah, I hear you like it like that. Who are you talking to? I know people. Do you? Hmm..hmm. Just a little again, turn some in, a little bit, please. And just a little under. On my scrape? Your scrape. You've been working on that scrape, back down there. Yes, I like the, it's fine, it's the little things that make it. Yeah! It's a little tiny scrape as opposed to this huge, you know. Just so that it has got that extra little, dose of reality. Very cool. Try not to get it on your furniture. That's o.k. Wow! I'm going to apply a little to the actual glass. Or to the glass, you put a little base. The edge of the glass, yeah. To make it look real. You have to think about every single detail. It's very detailed. Yeah! Yeah! And of course, I mean, obviously, I'm doing a rush job here. I mean, I was really going to make up like this. It would probably take, an hour. An hour and a half. Wow!
