I retried the method that I used for the shooter test (Liquid Glucose, Red and Green colouring, and water), but when I tried this against some white paper it was far too watery and pink.
Second Test - I added a bit more green, it started to look really dark, almost close to black, and mixed in a little more glucose. Again, it was too watery and too pink.
Third Test - I dug out The Guerilla Film Makers Blueprint and emulated some of the method they recommended in there. As this was only a quick test, what I did was put a couple of spoonfuls of Golden Syrup into a pan and heated it for a few seconds over a medium heat. I then added the same food colouring until I reached the desired colour, then tried again.
This looked FAR better but it was too thick - Only a small amount came out. But the colour was spot on. I'd need to mix up a tad more water or some sort of other thing in to get the right effect.
Enjoy,
David
