I've played around with the LL that I got, and kind've made a "cut" un my hand by allowing it to dry while manipulating it with a cardboard edge, threw in some of the blood mixture, looked alright - the main thing I think to work on is the colour...also, are multiple layers better for wounds, or just built-up singular layer?

Spirit gum is for attaching appliances like bald caps and such. Liquid latex allows you to blend the appliance to your flesh. It is also good for fleshy cuts and rips.
For good zombie/decaying flesh, I like to apply a couple of layers of liquid latex, then a bit of toilet tissue and then several more layers of liquid latex. this allows you to grip the toilet paper (which is now rubberized) and peel it back from the skin. You then color the flesh underneath to suit your purpose (bloody/charred/rotten)
It's how I did these zombie effects last Friday night for my Kids' haunted House at school.
