Fake Blood Gel for Photography?

[Lynx]

I will be spoilering my main question in case some are sensitive to blood and other things of the sort.

Spoiler

So I've been looking for fake blood gel, as
1. Fake wax blood is harder to use and just doesn't work as well for what I am aiming for
2. Fake liquid blood is runny and doesn't stick, so it's incredibly hard to take a photo with that.
Jam is also an option, but it may stain certain figures and be a pain to clean.

Thus, I am looking for a decent blood gel that others have used. I've mainly been seeing Ben Nye be thrown around, though unsure how suitable it is for dinosaur figures. If any other photographers or video takers of dinosaur figures (and other animals) have any recommendations for fake blood gel, please list so here! I'd greatly appreciate it.

This thread is also meant as a reference for others with a similar question.

Personally I would recommend photoshopping the blood onto the figures to be safe. Of course I understand there is a special magic doing it physically, but that is the route I'd go. Of course if memory serves you prefer more durable, "toy-like" figures that arent ruined as easily as more high end figures, so i
I guess these options can be safe to an extent

I don't really have any high-end figures (besides a few PNSOs) so I am not too concerned about it

Does fake blood thicken if you let it dry for a few minutes? That seems like the easiest fix if so.
