what the best to make the mouth look wet

I may be doing a competion animal open mouth. I have looked in the archives but no luck. I of course don't want it to wet looking...just "perfect" wetness. Any ideas?
Thanks

hi shine

we use hishine high gloss we get it in the craft dept at wallyworld (wal mart)

I think it's called Jaw-juice

I have not personally used it,but I read(I believe)that this is what its for.

Jaw-juice

is an adhesive used for holding in jawsets...it is not artificial silava.

jaw juice works fine for saliva

put it thru syringe without a needle - i use it all of the time - also works great for jaw sets

something else that works...

as far as the outer edge of lips and lip/hair line. I spray Liquid crystal aerosol. It will stick to the hairs in tiny bubbles looking as if it is moist from natural salivating. I have not done an open mouth mount yet so I am not sure if if it would have the same effect u want or not. I just thought I would try to give you an idea of what I try to acheive.

You might want to try modgepodge and a high gloss like liquid crystal but to get a saliva effect try using water resin to make your droplets of saliva that will get u a competition type look
