So for Halloween this year I am dressing up as a zombie. And zombies have flesh wounds right? So what you need for this is some pva wood glue, paper towel, time (haha) brown and purple dark eye shadows, bright red lipstick, dark red lip tint or lip gloss, fake blood and a pencil. You just want to shave or wax any hair on and around the area where you are putting the wound. Then wait a little while other wise it will sting if you put pva glue on freshly shaved skin. Then when you are ready put one layer of the glue evenly over the area. Wait for that to dry and then repeat. After put another layer of glue and then rip up some paper towel (if it is two ply separate the ply’s and use one ply) similar sizes of the wound area. Apply the ripped paper towel to the glue and put on another layer of glue. Repeat 2 more times. When dry you can start ripping into the glue/paper towel to replicate a wound. When ready, start dressing the wound with the dark eyeshadows to look bruised. Then in the center of the wound apply red lipstick and gloss and dab around outside. Apply large amounts of fake blood to finish and adjust anything. For any questions or requests just leave a comment.

Sometimes it can be difficult to get your fire going in your wood stove. Here is what works for me: first, make sure all the old ashes are cleaned out. Then I start with some scrunched up newspapers in the bottom of the box. Next, I layer some kindling that is good and dry. Wet wood will kill your attempts! Next I layer some larger good dry wood. I find the branches are good for this stage. Finally I put a couple of larger pieces on top. One thing you don’t want to do is smother the fire. Let lots of air circulate. I use a long match to get to the back part. Make sure there is good ‘draw’ and air circulation getting to the fire. Close the glass door but not fully shut -I leave it about 1/2″ open. You should see a good fire starting by now. Once it gets going – about 10 mins or so you could add some more wood and shut the door. The wood that I use is mainly poplar and elm. The poplar is great for getting it started and the elm will burn hotter and longer. I hope this helps. I would love to hear your comments and tips on how you get your fire going….

Good tip: use a hairdryer to dry the layers more quickly
So Random Question What Are The Effects Of Using Glue That Dosent Say Non-Toxic XD x
Yesh!!! It does look realistic!!
It does not look super real but cool
that is nasty but cool
to be honest, I dont know. Wood glue is stronger I guess
the pic of this video lol
THE DISLIKE BAR IS THE SAME SIZE AS JUSTIN BIEBERS PENIS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
looks kk….happy halloween!!!^•,,•^
@rafjayy it does, but one may be a little thicker than the other. So it really depends on how rick you want the torn skin to be
Does PVA glue and PVA wood glue give off the same finish? Reply asap please
yeh its fine to use on your neck, just any pva wood glue. I dont know what elmers is but just make sure its not toxic or whatnot
So that special glue us it the same as elmers and would I be able to do this on my neck??? Please respond asap
It doest cost much at all. The only thing I bought to do this was the fake blood which was like $5 aus. The other stuff was just things I had at home
so how much would this cost?
PVA glue is the same as elmers
can i use a elmer’s glue????? besides pva glue
that was awesome !!!!!!!!!!!
So sick and cool
WANT!
Awesome wound is awesome. =D
well instead of letting garbage pile up, any kind of paper or cardboard I just burn. Alot of my wood I didnt give proper time to dry so I think that was having an effect. I’m getting better with it. The more I use it the better I get. I was just an amateur I guess. It was very frustrating during the hurricane, but I think the wood may have been wet. I take wood that gets wet now and leave it in the garage w the dehumidifier, seems to dry it a little bit. Oak is nice, burns much cleaner.
Is your wood properly seasoned? I burn ash and poplar too; they help the fire get going but maple or oak or some other hardwood will give you more of a longer burn. The combination of the two works great for me. Key to make sure the wood is dry tho.
Why do you burn so much paper?
Sounds to me like it could be couple of problems: first , is your chimney/stove pipe clean and free of any obstructions?
Second, maybe you do not have sufficient air intake into the house to create the draft going up the chimney. Sometimes, when it is damp and not too cold, I can have a problem getting the smoke to go up the chimney, so I open a window, or just crack open the door to create the draft. Try that and see if it helps… let me know!
I am looking for a way to stop the smoke from coming into the house. Damper on or off, it still comes into the house.
Thank you for your advice. I have a Jotul stove. I think the wood I burn isnt the best quality. Its from ash trees and tulip pollar with some japanese maple wood. I hear Oak is the best. I’m getting better with it. I also burn alot of paper and cardboard.
How does that work for you? I would love to hear your comments!
Too bad that is your experience. Did you know that an actual ‘real’ fireplace has an efficiency rating of -10 (yes, that is minus 10). All your heat is going up thru your chimney. A woodstove has a far better efficiency. This one of mine is, if memory serves, about 85% efficiency. So, you may want to consider this. If your glass is dirty all the time that means you aren’t getting a good hot burn. You may want to check out my video on ‘how to clean your woodstove glass’. Thx for comments
So glad to have been able to help you. I love my fireplace – it ‘cozy’s’ up the room as well as heats it. Hope you can now enjoy yours too. Just make sure you have some ventillation to create the draw. Also, it is very hard to get going on warmer days. The colder the day, the faster it gets going for me.
I have a wood stove for over a year, never could get it to stay lit…always went out and filled my house with smoke. Thanks to you and your video, I know have a roaring fire I built all by myself, with your help lol Thank you!
I have a wood stove, I hate it. I did keep me warm many a cold night, especially after the hurricanes this year and last year when we lost power for two weeks. My problem with it though, it is extremely dirty, always have to clean the glass, fills the house with smoke. I really hate them, but soon enough when I sell this house I will be buying one with a real fireplace. Wood burning stoves are good to cook some food on, keep you warm, or make a nice fire for show, but lots of maintenece.
Thanks for the tips, I wanted to surprise my mom by starting the fire for her and this helped me so much!
Thanks so much for taking the time to comment! Great information! I will make sure I try it next time I light a fire in the woodstove!
just to let you know that round wood are harder to get going. its best to put spit wood on first and once fire going well then put the round on.
thats to create the draft.
living in Maine, we have plenty of dry pine cones which I gather to use for kindling, a few pieces of newspaper, some cones on top, than dry oak,or maple has my stove cooking in five minutes
Exactly how I do it…
We use 4 or 5 pinecones, a few bits of kindling and “Dry” wood.
kick ass!!! thank u soo much i can never get the fire going in my house. YeAh!!! thanks!!!
i was told you should completly fill up the stove with thin kndling
and let it burn for a bought 5 to 10 minutes
than fill up the stove with large split wood
proably hard woods for a long hot fire
Wonderful – glad to have been of help.
This worked for me, I don’t have firestarter so you REALLY helped me out. Thank you so much!
Well, you can use old plain paper – I recently received a large package with lots of plain packing paper which is great for starting a fire. I also use any brown paper bags that I no longer need. If your kindling is small enough you could just use it, although it will have to be pretty small. Let me know how you go on…
I would like to know an other method for starting a fire, cause i got a fireplace and i don’t wanna use newspaper, because it has ink and other chemicals.
