Previously someone (Jerry, I think?) suggested making puddles and
dripping lines of blood on glass using fabric paint.  When it dries,
peel it off and apply to the wall.  Something like this might work and
it's less messy.

 You can make your own static cling window thingies with the glass staining
 paint, painted on to glass, plastic whatever, then peeling them off. So
 there may be another option.
 
 The paint is availible at all Michaels, MJDesigns, and Joann Fabrics

Good idea Gravely!!!!..... I hadn't thought about the Gallery Glass
products.... but you are right, you can peel them off the glass after they dry
and apply them just like the static cling stickers you buy in the store.......

I think that's it!  Go to the auto parts store and get a bottle of
radiator rust inhibitor - water pump lubricant.  Also known as soluable
oil.  It will make several gallons of water milky looking, and won't
spoil for a long time.  And it will lube your pump too.

If you want the milk clouding the water effect with out the spoilage
there is a product called magicians milk.It is used in disappearing milk
pitchers instead of milkYou just mix a small amount with water to get the
clouding effect it looks like milk but wont spoil etc.One caution it is
not to be consumed. It goes a long waya small vial lasts me for years.
Check for local Magicians suppliers. I don't know how toxic it is so if
you use it outside make shure the local cats don't drink any.John Wolf

What are you going to use it for? That is live actor or non-living prop? Do 
you want it to drip or be pumped?
