I used this latex wound last year for Halloween. The adhesive worked perfectly and lasted all night through probably about an 8 hour party. Everybody was grossed out by it! The blood is good and goopy and clings to the wound and really makes it look real. I will warn you that the blood that comes with will stain clothing so be careful. A lot of fake blood (the kind you can buy in a spray can) washes out easily, but this blood stained my white shirt color pink. Luckily I picked a shirt that I did not care if it got ruined, and if you use the blood that comes with this, I would recommend the same.
