Does anyone know a better way to hide Compressed body hits better?! We tried making a smaller hole and I got my hole back covered in blood(twice). I would like to show blood coming out of my back .

What are you trying to hide the tubes and crap or the exit point? for tubes just wear a bagger shirt and/or tape it down better.

For exit points i don't really know but i heard instead of compleatly cutting through use sand paper or bleach(white shirts only) or a razor to make the shirt weak but not compleatly cut out. i have not tried it yet so i don't know but i believe that you'ld have to boot up the pressure a bit.


Hope this helps

Well, if you can't do it right, improvise!

Actually the clothing should be easier to tear open for an exit wound. An exit should be a large blast/explosion of blood. If you usually cut a slit in the shirt, make the slit slightly curved like a crescent. Then hold it together from the inside with a little scotch tape.

You Know,
I've found that when I'm doing Bullet hits I always have some corn syrup that has not been made into blood yet. I'll cut the shirt with a razor in an X pattern and then apply the sticky syrup to the boby hit beneath the shirt. Using the thin coating of corn syrup like glue, I press the hole in the shirt back together to hide the razor cuts. I've tried just about everything else I could think of, Small pieces of tape, thread, sandpaper, scoring the shirt, E.T.C. and this syrup method has been by far the best.

Hope it helps
