Recommended gelatin recipes

I'm working on a full face gelatin prosthetic at the moment and I don't have too much experience with gelatin- though I know that most artists typically find their own recipe they use and like with it. Can anyone recommend me a good starting point in terms of gelatin, glycerin, sorbitol, etc?

Much appreciated!

    Hey Tyler, there is a magical one in a lesson here but I need to go searching to get you the link. Back in a bit.

    He does his gelatin mix in the middle part of this course. This is his second course in a two part series, so if you are doing limited lessons, it is in lesson 2. I didn't write it down so all I can offer is it is in there.... somewhere.... in a 3 hour course. Ha, but seriously, I'm sure it is marked off by chapter and will be easy to find. Mine turned out amazing using his formula and I then added mineral powder pigments to match my flesh tones. After use it can be remelted and remolded. Mine sits in a coffee cup in the fridge ready for use.

    If you need tips on the sculpting, mold making and prep, that is in lesson 1, not 2.
