I made a bite mark for my son several years ago and wanted to be able to do so without one of the cheap Halloween kits they sell.  I was ecstatic when I saw these gelatin cubes and couldn't wait to get my hands on them.  They were a little smaller than I had thought they were going to be but exactly as described.  I am happy that these did not require any glue and that they could be used directly on the skin.  Heating them up was so easy that I skipped directions and overheated them lol Whoops.  I had to wait a little bit for them to cool down, thankfully I did not destroy them.  I took another cube and placed it in my metal shot glass and put that in a hot bowl of water.  After only a moment or two I was able to stir in the  original gelatin as well with a popsicle stick and begin applying the gelatin to my forehead.  I wanted to make a large 'chunk' of skin and knew it would take a bit of time and patience and wanted to make sure it was just the right size.  I wear glasses because I haven't gotten a new pair of contacts, and I have REALLY bad eyesight so I started it on my forehead, making sure it was the right size and shape.  I put two layers on, just enough to make a proper base then waited about half an hour for it to fully set.  I then carefully removed it from my forehead and placed it on my leg so that I could see it better and have a better angle to 'paint' it with my makeups and other goodies.  I added several more layers using the popsicle stick to apply and shape and smooth out the areas.  I used my fingers as well but sometimes it left little fingerprints.  That was easily fixable though with a little more gelatin or even the rounded end of a make-up brush.  By the time I was done (2 hours later!  I had fun!) It looked like something had torn this piece of flesh from my body. I LOVE these little cubes!<br />I received my first package of these cubes at a discounted price in exchange for an honest and fair review and that is exactly what I have done!  They are easy to work with, loads of fun and definitely worth the investment.
